Tomatillo Salsa
Prep time:
Total time:
Serves: 10
Ingredients
- 1 lb Tomatillos
- ½ small Red Onion
- ¾ cup Cilantro (Coriander)
- 2 tbsps Fresh Lime Juice
- 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Jalapeno Pepper
- ½ tsp Salt
- ⅛ tsp Black Pepper
Instructions
- Break out of your red salsa rut! This green salsa is tangy and slightly spicy and has a bit of crunch too. If you haven't experimented with tomatillo, a member of the tomato family that's particularly low in carbs, this is a good first recipe to try. Be sure to wear gloves and don't touch your eyes as (or after) you chop up and de-seed the jalapeno pepper. Each serving is ¼ cup.
- Remove the husk from the tomatillo then chop it. Finely chop the onion and the jalapeno. Chop the cilantro.
- Mix tomatillos, onion, cilantro, lime juice, oil, jalapeno, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Let stand for 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
