Happy Cinco de Mayo! I hope everyone is having tacos for dinner tonight to celebrate! I also hope that there is a margarita in your near future. I know that there is with me!
Me and Jose are like this*.
Well, we used to be. He’s not as nice to me as he used to be.
In honor of Cinco de Mayo here is a seriously kick butt recipe for Salsa Verde. I made it myself. I was trying to recreate the salsa verde I got at a farmer’s market last week and I think I hit the nail on the head.
Salsa Verde. Good on:
chips
tortillas
tacos
sliced pork
burgers
hot dogs
eggs
toast
ice cream
car bumpers
Well, maybe not those last two things, but the rest for sure!
Try not to eat it all in one sitting!

1/2 cup cilantro

1 t. salt
Peel and halve tomatillos.
Put them cut side down on a baking sheet
and place under a broiler for about 5 minutes.

this looks amazing….i have always loved eating salsa verde in resturaunts but havent ever tried making it myself!
I've never had salsa verde with avocado added to it. But I must say that it looks really good with the roasted tomatillos. Must have tasted great!
Looks like a wonderful dip. The green color is so fresh. Thanks for the recipe.
honey you sure know how to celebrate Cinco de Mayo…broiling the tomatillos really puts this salsa in a whole other league! i can't wait to try this!
wow, amazing recipe! i will definitely have to add this to my collection!
