Salsa is one of the easiest things you can make at home and this Fresh Green Salsa From Scratch is SO fresh and so delicious, you'll never buy it in a jar again!
Here's a quickie for ya, friends. And by quickie, I mean this Fresh Green Salsa from scratch is exactly that, quick! And easy. And sooo fresh.
The ingredients:
- Fresh tomatillos
- Fresh garlic
- Fresh shallots
- Fresh cilantro
- Fresh jalapeno
- Fresh anaheim chili peppers
... are you catching my drift here?
SO Easy to Make
Just a quick peel here and a chop there of the veggies and then toss 'em in your food processor (like this one, the Cuisinart Pro Classic) and boom. Done. Does it get any easier??
I wish you all had smell-o-vision. It's vibrant and clean and just screams, "Bring me some chips and a Margarita!"
What to Serve with Fresh Green Salsa:
Chips - Like our homemade Corn Tortilla Chips or Flour Tortilla Chips.
Pork Verde! - Super easy thanks to your trusty Crock Pot!
While you're at it, try out our Fresh Easy Pico de Gallo From Scratch, Fresh Spinach Guacamole, and our favorite, go-to side dish for any Mexican-themed meal, our Mexican Street Corn Salad or our Mexican Street Corn Chicken Tacos!
Green salsa from a jar? Pshh. It'll take you longer to buy it in the grocery store and then fight to get the lid open. This took me less than 5 minutes and the way it made our whole house smell made it even more worth it!
Enjoy! As always, if you make this recipe or any of my others, I love to hear what you think! Leave a comment below, email me, or you can find me on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest!

Mmm so fresh and so easy! My favorite kind of recipe 🙂 I love tomatillos and need to use them more often!
Agreed! I need them in my life much more, too!

I love salsa verde, but have never made it at home, this looks so fresh and delicious, I will have to try it soon!

Homemade is so much better. I haven't made salsa verde in quite a while and you've inspired me to make it very soon!!
Isn't it?! Yay!
I haven't made fresh salsa verde in awhile. I'm looking forward to making some soon.
Yay fresh salsa! I hope you do!
I love tomatillos and the beautiful green color your salsa has. I need to make this more often .Thanks for the reminder.
We love the freshness, ease, and health of this wonderful green salsa. We're especially intrigued by the tomatillos - a veggie we have yet to use. Thanks so much for the beautiful recipe.
