Salsa Verde Ingredients
You’ll need 5 simple ingredients:
Tomatillos – there are two different kinds. One kind is smaller than the other but they are both great options. My mom prefers the smaller one but I prefer the bigger ones because it means I don’t have to peel as many 😉
Onion – sweet, white and yellow onion are all great options!
Garlic – don’t even think about leaving the garlic out. Add an extra clove or two if you are a garlic lover.
Peppers – I like my salsa spicy so I use Serreno peppers. If you want a more mild salsa use jalapeños.
Cilantro – adds freshness and flavor. If you are one of those people with that gene that makes cilantro tastes like soap or you just dislike cilantro, feel free to leave it out or use a bit of parsley instead.
oh yeah.. and salt to taste!

How to make Salsa Verde
Always remember to taste and adjust the recipe as you go. Everyone is a little different so make sure to cater to your tastebuds.
Storage
Store salsa in a tight-sealed container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. I doubt it will actually last 5 days in the fridge but who knows maybe you made a double or triple batch! If you made a double batch and want to make sure it lasts, you can also freeze it for up to 4 months.

Hi, I can’t wait to make this. We don’t have tomatillos in Australia, can I just use green tomatos?
yes it should be fine! sorry just getting back from vacation 🙂
Could I roast them in the air fryer like in your soup recipe?
definitely 🙂
My first time making Salsa Verde. Will make it again for sure. Thank you.
This is by far the best salsa verde I’ve ever tried and it’s SOOO easy! Making it weekly.
It’s great balance of flavor and spice!
