  1. Really good salsa. Very different from the salsa I usually make. I used two big jalapenos and it turned out super hot. But the flavor was nice and fresh. Thanks for posting.
     
  2. Love it! Tomatillo sauce is one of my favorites, and this recipe is definitely closer to restaurant-quality than anything else I've tried. This is definitely going into my regular rotation.
     
  3. This is an excellent recipe. I pureed the tomatillos in the blender alone and put in the fridge to chill before adding the other ingredients, and added just a little sugar. It is great over roasted chicken, chimichangas baked with cheese, and as a dip.
     
  4. Loved this salsa! This was my first time using tomatillos and my first time having tomatillo salsa. I was a little nervous using tomatillos for the first time but this recipe is super easy to make, and very versitale to individual taste. Will be making many more times in the future.
     
  5. This is really tasty and easy to make!! I used a red fresno pepper instead of a jalapeno to give it some pretty red color contrast and a little more heat!! I liked this recipe, will make again, thanks!!
