A vibrant green salsa in a glass bowl, garnished with fresh cilantro leaves and sliced jalapeños.

Salsa Verde is a tangy and flavorful Mexican salsa made with tomatillos, jalapeños, onions, cilantro, and lime juice. It's perfect as a dip for tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos and grilled meats.

Ingredients

1 pound tomatillos, husked and rinsed
1-2 jalapeños, stemmed (remove seeds for a milder salsa)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon lime juice
Salt to taste

Roast the Vegetables: Place the tomatillos and jalapeños on a baking sheet. Broil in the oven until charred, about 5-7 minutes.
Blend: In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted tomatillos, jalapeños, onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Blend until smooth.
Adjust Seasoning: Taste the salsa and add salt as needed.
Chill and Serve: Transfer the salsa to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite dishes. Enjoy!
