- Make Ahead and Storing Instructions
- Store freshly made salsa in an airtight jar or other container, in the refrigerator, for up to 4 days.
- If you want a less tangy and more sweet tomatillo salsa verde, but can only find less ripe tomatillos, we recommend adding the garlic and onion to the tomato tillo mixture and instead of charring for a few minutes, roasting the tomatillo-onion mixture in the oven, at 375˚F for about 20-25 minutes. This will bring out some sweetness from the vegetables.
- Add 1-2 extra jalapeño peppers or simply include the seeds of the jalapeño in the original recipe, if you're looking to add more heat. Alternatively, omit the jalapeño for more mild results.
- If you want a more rich and creamy salsa, you can add 1/2 to 1 avocado to the salsa and blend together until smooth.
