  1. 1

  3. 3

    In a blender, combine the roasted tomatillos, fresh cilantro, jalapeño pepper (seeded for less heat, if desired), garlic cloves, lime juice, and salt.

  4. 4

    Blend

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the salsa to a bowl and serve with tortilla chips or use as a condiment for your favorite dishes.
