Salsa Verde from @MyLatinaTable
“Salsa verde can be prepared in many different ways. It can be made with roasted or raw tomatoes, and it can be combined with many different types of herbs. It can also be very thin or a little bit thicker. Whatever method of preparation you choose, tomatillos – or green tomatoes – are the star.”
“Another reason that I love this salsa verde recipe is because I learned how to make it alongside my sister. Even though this is a very easy recipe to master, I am so grateful for the time that we were able to spend, laughing and cooking together. That is definitely one of the reasons that this is my favorite salsa.” –Charbel Barker, @mylatinatable
