Recently Paul and I found a delicious Mexican restaurant. After just one meal there it will be our go-to Mexican restaurant. I ordered a pork quesadilla that had a tomatillo salsa generously served on top. The salsa was incredibly good. So, I set out to make my own version at home.
This salsa verde is reminiscent of tangy green apples with a juicy spice and hint of cilantro. Most of the time jarred salsa verde is cooked. If I had to guess the salsa verde at the Mexican restaurant was raw because it had much more of a fresh taste than other salsa verdes I have had. I definitely hit the nail on the head with this one; it tasted pretty close to the salsa at the restaurant.
You need to make this salsa verde. It is so much better than the jarred store-bought salsa. I know it will rock your world. So grab a bag of tortilla chips and dig in!

Description
This raw salsa verde is quick to make and way better than store bought. Enjoy it with tortilla chips or serve it with tacos.
Ingredients
- 4–5 tomatillos, peeled, rinsed, and roughly chopped
- 1 1/2 serrano peppers, stemmed and cut in half
- 1 cup cilantro
- 2 cloves garlic
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- Juice of half a lime
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into a food processor and process until it’s mostly smooth, but still slightly chunky. Serve immediately with tortilla chips. OR store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Notes: My salsa was pretty runny, which I didn’t mind, if you want yours to not be as runny then you can strain out a little bit of the liquid.
