I take my salsa eating very seriously. There's no messing around when it comes to the worlds best condiment. There's no point in wasting calories on tortilla chips unless they are accompanied by a life altering bowl of salsa. This tomatillo salsa is exactly that! Roasted tomatillos, onions, jalapeños, cilantro - you honestly can't go wrong!! Hand me this, a giant bowl of guacamole, perhaps a bucket or two of fresh tortilla chips and I could die happy!

  1. The Pinterest link from your blog/web site does not work for this salsa verde recipe
    Otherwise, looks good!!

    1. Just a jalapeno, with the stem removed!! Because the stem isn't soft enough to eat

  2. Gaby, how much would the taste change if you roasted the jalapeno, garlic, and onion with the tomatillos?

  3. Hello from Down Under! I confess to cheating - I picked up a jar of Gaby's tomatilla salsa at Williams Sonoma and we used it on our soft tacos - delicious! Wondering how long the leftovers can be refrigerated after opening? Cheers... J
