I recently came across tomatillos and I was surprised to find out that although they look just like green tomatoes, they aren't tomatoes at all!

Salsa verde is a popular Mexican original, but adding a few personal touches can transform this popular sauce into a unique creation. Use as a dipping sauce along corn/flour tortilla chips for the ultimate combo.
