Green Salsa with Tomatillos Green Salsa with Tomatillos
This is a variety of salsa that is often served alongside meals at Mexican restaurants. I find the green salsa more refreshing so I prefer it. Tomatillos are usually used in cooking after heating but I wanted a more refreshing flavour so left them fresh to make Salsa Verde Cruda.This is a well-known spicy sauce, just like Tabasco, that can be used in a variety of cooking, not just Mexican. Serve it on the side if you're using it for a party as people will have differing tolerances for spicy food. Please adjust the salt according to the type of food that you plan to serve this salsa with. You can use it to dip chips into as well (but it's quite spicy so be careful!) Recipe by dreamy-kitten

Salsa Verde (Green Salsa) Salsa Verde (Green Salsa)
I found some mysterious looking tomatillos in the supermarket and used them to make this green salsa. I prefer green salsa over red salsa and tried many ways to get this recipe right. I tend to buy my salsa but wanted to taste some homemade stuff just this once.Of course you can use jalapeño peppers rather than Serrano chili peppers if you'd prefer. You can also make this salsa entirely with raw vegetables. I always boil my vegetables but there's not really a reason for it, it's just something that I have always done. You can also make a warm simmered sauce from this recipe by adding more salt. Recipe by KazenomachinoPeco -
