Tomatillo Salsa Verde

This recipe for the classic Mexican green salsa, known as salsa verde, comes from Chef Traci Des Jardins. Once you have the hang of making salsas and realize how easy it is, she says, you’ll never go back to store bought. Experiment with different types of chilies; some are very spicy and some, not so much. Removing the seeds lessens the bite. When tomatoes are in season, pico de gallo is also really easy: just combine diced tomatoes, diced white onion, serrano chili, chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
