Salsa is one of the easiest things you can make From Scratch at home- this Fresh Green Salsa 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 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 chile peppers… are you catching my drift here?
Even better, with a great food processor (like this one, the Cuisinart Pro Classic) the veggie prep is nearly non-existent. Just a quick peel here and chop there, and then toss it all right in.
I wish you all had smell-o-vision. This seriously smells like you just fresh picked tomatillos in Mexico on a hot August day while the feast Abuela is cooking up in the house wafts out into the field where you’re picking. Yup. Just like that. 
Green salsa from a jar? Pshh. It’ll take you way longer to buy it in the grocery store and then fight to get the lid open. This took me less than 5 minutes and wait ’til you see the deliciousness we’re cooking with it! 😉
- 8 tomatillos husked and halved
- 3 shallots, peeled and halved
- 3 cloves of garlic, peeled
- 2 anaheim chile peppers, halved and roughly chopped
- 1 bunch of fresh cilantro, stems removed
- 1 jalapeno, halved and (most of) the seeds cleaned
- 1/4 - 1/2 tsp salt to taste
- Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until coarsely chopped or to the consistency preferred. Cover and store in fridge until ready to use.
- Yield approx. 1 1/2 cups
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.
I love tomatillos and the beautiful green color your salsa has. I need to make this more often .Thanks for the reminder.
I haven’t made fresh salsa verde in awhile. I’m looking forward to making some soon.
Yay fresh salsa! I hope you do!
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 love salsa verde, but have never made it at home, this looks so fresh and delicious, I will have to try it soon!
Oh I hope you do! It’s amazingly fresh!
Yum, I will have to give this one a try. Tomatillos are on my list of things to try cooking with this year, and this sounds like a great way to get started!
Oh I hope you do! They are SO fresh and amazing! 🙂
Yum! I am going to see if I can make this for my tacos tonight! Wish me luck!
