Salsa Verde Salad: Spicy Avocado-Tomatillo Dressing + Mushrooms.

I often say that you eat a good salsa verde with a chip. You eat an amazing salsa verde by the spoonful! In fact an extra-creamy, delicious salsa verde can easily be used as salad dressing. Which is what I did here with some tasty results..

Verde. I made this salad a few weeks ago and haven't forgotten about it. It is definitely worth trying if you are a "salsa verde" lover like me. My salsa verde-inspired dressing includes creamy avocados, roasted tomatillos and cilantro. Richness from the avocados swirls with juicy perkiness from the smoky roasted tomatillos and cilantro. I generously poured it over top a bed of chopped spicy-fresh arugula greens and some quickie marinated red cabbage slaw. On top, some sizzling strips of pepper-balsamic shiitake mushrooms.

You could take this salad one step further and add some sweet roasted corn, warm lentils, candied nuts, pinto beans, chipotle tofu or tempeh or even some

    This looks so great. We ate the reboot salad for about a week in different forms. This will likely be the same. Keeping you and your kitty in my thoughts!

    This salad looks amazing, Kathy! I'm loving the roasted mushrooms, and especially the salsa verde as the dressing. I'd take a bowl of that on its own any day!

    Is it wrong that I scroll down thru the page to see if there are Nell-ster pix before I read the recipes now? 🙂

    Perfect timing! I just bought tomatillos at the farm stand yesterday and was wondering what to do with them. Can't wait to make this!

    I just read a recipe for a white chicken chili that uses salsa verde, and I think it would be SO good with this recipe!
