We usually boil the tomatillos and peppers before blending them, but there are other ways to make it as well. I learned the recipe from my mother who learned it from my grandmother. The color is given by the tomatillos, the fresh cilantro and the green peppers. Salsa verde is a very popular Mexican salsa. You can also find my avocado salsa recipe here for a nice variation. Salsas are truly versatile, we pour them on meat, eggs, quesadillas, tacos, shrimp, tostadas, you name it.īy the way, that yummy mix of chunky tomatoes, onions, cilantro and pepper some folks in the US call salsa, we call pico de gallo in Mexico. Salsa in Mexico usually refers to a delicious mixture of vegetables, herbs, spices and chiles liquified in a blender. A few things are always in my kitchen, like limes, avocados, tomatoes, onions, and salsa!
