Salsa verde (also called green salsa) is made with tomatillos, which are sour, green Mexican tomatoes in papery husks. The result is a piquant, tart condiment that pops in color and flavor with a less acidic bite than red tomato salsa. In this recipe, cilantro, lime and jalapeño perfectly complement the tomatillos. Eat it with tortilla chips or spoon onto tacos, enchiladas or any dish that calls for a salsa. Feel free to swap salsa verde for red salsa. It makes what you’re eating come alive with tanginess!
