How To Make Easy Salsa Verde Sauce Recipe With Step-By-Step Instructions

Homemade Salsa Verde is so much better than what you get in a bottle! This green salsa recipe is so easy to make, it’s deliciously flavorful, and it makes a delicious topping to your favorite Mexican food. Or simply serve it with chips for a perfect party appetizer or dinner side dish.

This is my favorite Salsa Verde recipe! The tomatillos and pepper are roasted for a flavorful light char, then the ingredients are quickly blitzed in a food processor for an easy finish. Such a bright refreshing chip dip or taco topping!

Ingredients

Tomatillos (1 & 1/4 Ibs), husked
Jalapeno (1 ), stem removed
Yellow Onion (2/3 cup), chopped
Cilantro ( 1/4 cup)
Garlic (1 clove), minced
Salt to taste
Sugar (1/2- 1 tsp) to taste
Fresh Lime Juice (1 tbsp)
Water (3 tbsp), then more as desired

Instructions

Move the oven rack about 4 inches below the broiler element, and preheat the broiler to high heat.
Place tomatillos and jalapeno on a baking sheet then place in the oven and roast for about 4 – 5 minutes until charred on top (keep a close on things as they can char pretty quickly – especially the pepper).
Rotate veggies to the opposite side and roast until charred on the opposite side, about 3 – 5 minutes longer.
Slice pepper then add to a food processor along with onion, cilantro, garlic, salt, sugar, lime juice, water, and tomatillos (and any juices on the pan).
Pulse several times to a coarse puree.
Stir in more water to thin if desired.
Chill through in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
