What is salsa verde?

Salsa verde is the traditional style of Mexican salsa. Tomatillos, jalapeños, serranos, cilantro, and even avocado are some of its most common ingredients. Garlic and onions are also added for added flavor and aroma. Spices such as cumin, herbaceous oregano, or paprika can also be used. The mixture can be processed until smooth but can also be left in chunks for more texture. Salsa is often served with nachos or quesadillas.

• tomatillos – Make sure to remove the casing.
• sweet onion – You can also use white or red onions.

• Make it smooth. If you don't like avocado chunks in your salsa, process the mixture until completely smooth.
• Hold the cilantro. Sometimes fresh cilantro in salsa becomes bitter after 1-2 days. If you won't be eating or finishing the salsa right away, it's best to omit the cilantro from the recipe and add it just before serving.
• Bake them. Place tomatillos on baking sheet. Bake them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes or until lightly charred. Add them to the recipe as usual for a smokier flavor.
• prepare in advance. Make salsa without avocado. Pour into ice cube trays and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and add avocado before serving.
• Make it fruity. Add 1/4-1/2 cup diced mango or pineapple for a natural sweetness and tropical flavor.
