Tomatillo salsa is a great way to spice up your condiment game! Salsa can be served at all times of the day – think salsa on eggs in the morning for breakfast, salsa as a substitute for salad dressing at lunch time, and salsa atop a grilled chicken breast for dinner. Often, store-bought salsa is highly processed with added salt and preservatives, so why not make it at home? This is a simple, 5-ingredient recipe you can make in a snap!
So, what are tomatillos anyway? Tomatillos are a member of the nightshade family and are known as the “Mexican husk tomato.” They are the green, tomato-like vegetables with paper on the outside you’ve been eyeing in the produce section.
Roasting the tomatillos helps develop a deeper flavor. Pro tip: roast on a sheet pan lined with aluminum foil to save time on clean up. While the ingredients are roasting, you have time to prep another dish! This salsa can be made ahead of time, in advance of a party or a busy week. I love to make a batch at the beginning of the week to top all of my desk lunches!
Serve with black bean chips at your next party, or top your lunches for the week with this salsa to add a zing to your meals.
