Salsa Verde
Report
This homemade salsa verde is a combination of roasted chilies, tomatillos, garlic, cilantro and lime juice, all blended together to make a light and refreshing dip. An easy appetizer option that tastes SO much better than the store bought version!

Instructions
- Preheat the broiler. Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.
- Place the tomatillos, poblano peppers, jalapeno peppers and garlic cloves on the sheet pan.
- Broil for 7-8 minutes or until vegetables are tender and charred.
- Place the peppers in a plastic bag and seal the bag. Let the peppers sit in the bag for 5 minutes. This will make the pepper skins a lot easier to remove.
- Take the peppers out of the bag and peel off the skins.
- Place the tomatillos, peppers, garlic, onion, cilantro, salt and lime juice in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is mostly smooth. You don't want it completely smooth, just a coarse puree.
- Taste and add more salt if needed. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
Notes
- For a spicier dish, leave some of the ribs and seeds in the jalapeno peppers.
- I like to use both poblano peppers and jalapeno peppers in this dish. The poblano peppers are not traditional, but I find they add so much extra flavor and texture.
- No food processor? A blender will work just as well.
- Be sure to rinse your onions with cold water before you add them to the salsa. This will help temper their flavor.
