I’m not saying that since I grew up in Mexico that I know a superior salsa verde when I see it, but … I’m definitely not saying I don’t.
Here’s a quick salsa that’s worth every second of the four minutes it takes to whip up.

1 lb green tomatillos
1-2 jalapeños
1 onion
4 garlic cloves
1/2 c cilantro
1 TBSP lime juice (1-2 limes squeezed)
1-2 tsp salt
Drizzle of olive oil
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Remove the husks from the tomatillos. Remove stem and seeds from jalapeños. Quarter the onion and peel the garlic cloves. Place on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, and roast for 15-30 minutes or until veggies begin to char.
- Add to a food processor or blender along with remaining ingredients and pulse until well blended.
- Allow flavors to blend for a few hours before serving. Refrigerate in a glass jar for up to a week.
