We Texans love our Tex-Mex & Mexican foods! 3 staples you will find in practically every kitchen here are salsa, guacamole, & salsa verde. All 3 are are quick & easy to make IF you keep it simple!

This is the only salsa verde recipe you’ll ever need! 5 ingredients + some seasoning + 5 minutes = Deliciously Done!

BONUS it’s pretty much the same recipe for salsa.

BONUS once you make salsa, you have the base for the best guacamole ever! Just add smashed avocados.

5 simple ingredients:

  • fresh tomatillos
  • fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 c onions, roughly chopped
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 hot pepper, roughly chopped (your choice – serrano, jalapeño, tabasco, etc. depends how hot you want it)

Peel the husk from the tomatillos.

Wash & dry them really well. They’re very sticky.

Cut them in half or quarters for easy chopping.



Making your own food is so great because it’s completely customizable! My family loves chunky salsa that’s got a good kick so I don’t blend smoothly as I’ve seen others do. And I always add hot peppers in my salsa verde recipe even though it’s completely optional.

And now comes the fun part!

Put everything in your food processor or blender & chop until you reach your desired consistency.


Season with salt & pepper at the very least. I like to add my smokey seasoning or my Mexican Blend. You could also add a little acid with lemon or lime juice.

Once you’re done blending, pour your salsa verde into a container & enjoy! I like to reuse glass containers from the grocery store – less waste & they’re usually the perfect size.

Tips
  • A quick note on peppers. Not all are super hot. You can easily pick one with less heat, like the serranos I used this time. You can even use hot peppers and remove all the seeds. That way you get all the flavor & not the heat.
  • To make tomato salsa, use this salsa verde recipe & switch out the tomatillos for roma, plum, or cherry tomatoes.
  • To make the easiest & tastiest guac, make the salsa then just add it to smashed (or mashed) avocados. How easy is that?!
  • One last tip… if you want to store this in the fridge for a period of time, add food grade citric acid as a preservative. It’s completely natural & works like a charm. Ours never lasts that long so I don't bother.
