  • 20 pieces Tomatillos drained
  • 0.5-0.67 cup Sugar
  • 1 small bunch Cilantro
  • 2-3 tablespoons Jalapeño Pepper diced

Equipment

  • Cutting Board
  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Start by prepping the tomatillos. Ensure they are drained well and remove any husks. Their tangy flavor is essential for that signature taste of salsa verde.
  2. Next, throw the prepared tomatillos into a blender. This will be the base of your Sweet Salsa Verde, blending them allows their flavors to meld beautifully.
  3. Add in the sugar. Depending on your taste preference, you can adjust the amount. Blend them together until smooth. You want to achieve a consistency that suits your liking—whether chunky or smooth!
  4. Now, toss in the fresh cilantro and diced jalapeño peppers. Blend again, but be careful not to over-process. You want to keep some texture!
  5. Once blended, taste your salsa. This is the fun part! If you’d like more heat, add a bit more jalapeño. If you prefer it sweeter, sprinkle in a touch more sugar.
  6. After adjusting the flavors, pour the Salsa Verde into a serving bowl. It looks vibrant and inviting, ready to be enjoyed!
  7. For the best flavor, let the salsa sit for a while. This resting period allows the flavors to develop and deepen, making it even more delicious.
  8. Serve your Sweet Salsa Verde with tortilla chips, tacos, or grilled meats. The options are endless, and it will surely impress your guests!
  9. Finally, if you have leftovers, transfer them to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator. It stays fresh for several days, so you can enjoy it again!

Notes

  • Make Ahead: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4–6 days.
  • Seeding Tomatillos: To prevent watery salsa, seed the tomatoes before adding to the blender.
