Salsa Verde Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them under cold water. Dice the onion and jalapeño (removing seeds if you prefer less heat).

  2. 2

    Cook the Tomatillos

    In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the tomatillos and simmer for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft and slightly translucent. Drain and let cool.

  3. 3

    Blend the Salsa Verde

    In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked tomatillos, cilantro, diced onion, jalapeño, cumin, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth.

  4. 4

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more salt or lime juice to taste.

  5. 5

    Transfer the salsa verde to a bowl and serve with tortilla chips, tacos, or your favorite dishes.
