Mexican Salsa Verde
This authentic Mexican salsa verde recipe is easy to make in the blender or food processor, and tastes absolutely delicious!This recipe’s a classic, easy to make in the blender or food processor, the flavors are perfectly balanced (and easy to adapt to be as mild or spicy as you’d like).
The good news about making salsa verde from scratch is that it’s incredibly easy to make. Just pick up a batch of fresh tomatillos. Then add them to a blender or food processor with lots of fresh cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, and lots of fresh lime juice. Puree until combined, and then a vibrant, delicious, warm batch of fresh salsa will be yours to enjoy. Serve it up with chips (my standard), or whatever Mexican recipe happens to sound good to you that day. Or this salsa will keep in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 5 days. Easy peasy!
