A green salsa is made from serrano chilies, green tomatoes, cilantro, and lime juice. Salsa verde is wonderful with seafood. If you can't find green tomatoes, use ripe red tomatoes. Make a double batch and serve it with corn chips, toasted pita wedges and/or a fresh cheese platter. It's also terrific over chicken or fish. You can double the entire recipe and morph the extra into shrimp tacos by serving the shrimp in the flour tortillas and spooning the salsa over the top; serve with reduced-fat sour cream and guacamole on the side.
