Ingredients & Substitutions
Tomatillos are key here; they give that unique tangy flavor. If you can’t find them, you might try green tomatoes, but they won’t have the same zing. Fresh cilantro is a must, but if you’re not a fan, you can swap it out with parsley, though it’ll change the flavor profile a bit.
Tips & Notes
- •I like to keep mine in a glass jar—it stays fresh for days and looks pretty on the shelf!
- •If you want a smokier flavor, try adding a touch of smoked paprika.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll toss in a handful of roasted corn for extra sweetness and texture.
- •If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding diced avocado for a creamy twist!
Storage & Freezing
Store your salsa verde in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Just give it a good stir before using, as the ingredients may settle.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by chopping the tomatillos into quarters. If you’ve never worked with them before, they’re a bit tart and bright in flavor, and that’s exactly what we want.
- 2
Next, chop your jalapeño. If you’re not sure about the spice level, just start with half and work your way up. You can always add more later.
- 3
In a food processor, combine the tomatillos, jalapeño, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
- 4
Pulse everything together until you reach your desired consistency. I like mine a bit chunky, but you can blend it smooth if that’s more your style.
- 5
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Maybe a little more lime juice or salt? This is your creation!
