Salsa Verde Recipe

Mexican Tomatillo Salsa Recipe
Favorite Restaurant Salsa Recipe

The Mexican Salsa Verde Recipe includes tomatillos, chiles, garlic, onion, and salt. It is also known as green sauce and is used in making many Mexican dishes as well as a condiment.

This salsa is brightly colored and fresh. It is fantastic over broiled salmon or scrambled eggs, with fried chicken, pan fried pork chops, and pan fried potatoes, eggs and white fish. Serve the salsa with tacos or burritos or as a dip with tortilla chips.

This is one of my favorite salsas.










Tomatillos are small green fruits surrounded with a papery husk and they are a Mexican relative of a tomato.

Tomatillos are also what helps give the salsa its green
color, along with the chile peppers and cilantro. tomatillos

The tomatillos also give the salsa verde a tangy, zesty flavor with the underlying tastes of the chiles, cilantro, garlic and onions.

Here's a quick and easy Salsa Verde Recipe you'll love but don't be afraid to experiment with this salsa. You can add more "heat" by including some of the chile pepper seeds. Try different chiles when you get a chance or even a different combination of chiles. This is a salsa to make your own.
