Classic Salsa Verde (Tomatillo-Based) Ingredients

• 1 lb tomatillos, husked and rinsed
• 1–2 jalapeños (seeded for less heat)
• ¼–½ white onion, roughly chopped
• 1 garlic clove
• ½ cup fresh cilantro (leaves + tender stems)
• 1–2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
• Salt, to taste
• Optional: 1 Tbsp olive oil or a splash of water for texture

1. Broil tomatillos, jalapeños, onion, and garlic until blistered (8–10 min).
2. Blend with cilantro, lime, and salt.
3. Thin slightly with water if needed.

• Too runny? Simmer until it has reduced to the desired consistency.
• Too thick? Add water 2 tablespoons at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
• Too hot or acidic? Add only one of the following to reduce heat: ½ teaspoon baking soda, 1 to 2 teaspoons sugar, 1 to 2 teaspoons agave syrup.
• Like it hot? You do not have to seed the Serrano chilies. You can seed them if you want to reduce the heat of the salsa.
