You can easily throw this homemade salsa verde recipe together in 10 minutes, making it perfect for a quick and easy dip or side dish. All you need is 7 ingredients: tomatillos, jalapeno, and onion are roasted in a pan with olive oil, and then pureed with garlic, lime juice, and cilantro. I took the seeds out of the jalapeno to keep the salsa verde semi-mild, however, if you like a kick of heat, simply keep the seeds in for a spicier salsa. They can be eaten raw or boiled but I prefer them roasted.
Tomatillos are green tomatoes, mildly sweet and slightly more sour than a regular red tomato. This Salsa Verde recipe is so easy to make and tastes way better than store-bought! It packs a little heat from the jalapeños and tons of flavor thanks to the tomatillos. Well, that and the enchiladas, of course! They are the #1 reason I love to go to Mexican Restaurants. To me, there is no better snack than chips and salsa.
