Tomatillo Salsa Verde

Tomatillo Salsa Verde is my kid’s favorite salsa because it’s not too spicy for them. I love to use the salsa on chicken enchiladas, tacos or even just as a dip. It is a great dip to take to parties for an appetizer, in fact I am making this weekend for our Super Bowl Party per my kid’s request.

This recipe is simple and takes less than 30 minutes to make. You can also make this salsa and freeze i for up to 6 months. We like to serve Tomatillo Salsa Verde with tortilla chips and red pepper slices. Be sure to try this delicious salsa with Oven Baked Chicken Fajitas.
