Ingredients

1 tablespoon neutral oil
3 large tomatillos, husk removed and rinsed, then cut into large wedges*
1 serrano pepper, stem removed and cut in half
1/4 small white onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 small avocado
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup minced cilantro leaves and stems
salt and pepper to taste

Make the salsa verde. Combine all the ingredients in a high-powered blender and blend until smooth. Season to taste with salt.

Storage Instructions

Any leftover salsa verde can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 5 days.

Notes

*Note: Tomatillos are NOT green tomatoes. They’re part of the gooseberry family, which is why they have a husk. They are a bit tart which makes for a very fresh salsa verde!
