Variations
Dial up the spice (or dial it down)
This tomatillo salsa recipe couldn’t be easier to adapt to the spice needs of whoever you are cooking it for. If you love spice, dial it up by whacking in another jalapeno in this recipe, or even a serrano pepper. And if you really want to set your tongue on fire, leave the seeds on. Alternatively, to cool this recipe down, leave out the jalapenos. It’s as simple as that!
Slap in an avocado
A popular way of adding a creamy twist to your tomatillo salsa verde recipe is by adding some avocado into the mix when you blend it. This will give this vegan green salsa a luxuriously smooth finish and the more avocado you add, the creamier it gets!
Add sugar!
Tomatillos are known for being tarter, more acidic alternatives to tomatoes. This tomatillo salsa recipe showcases these punchy flavors. But if you have a sweet tooth, a sweeter variation tastes amazing too. Simply add ⅓ cup of sugar to the mix when you blend it to enjoy this tomatillo salsa recipe nice and sweet!
