As soon as I dumped in the can of green salsa, I knew I had a problem. It added way too much liquid and turned this into more of a soupy sauce. However, it's delicious and would be wonderful served over a piece of grilled chicken, chopped lettuce or some eggs. I put mine in a bowl and ate it with a spoon. If you'd like it less soupy, only add enough green salsa until you get the consistency you want. Click the photo to see a close-up.
