I have a special love for authentic Mexican food, which differs from much of what we are served at typical American style Mexican restaurants. I am not an expert at cooking Mexican cuisine but I do love to play in my kitchen with the amazing flavors they use. There is nothing better than homemade salsa and I made my first tomatillo salsa last week and it came out fantastic. You can use it as a dip with tortilla chips or add it to your favorite Mexican dishes.

Gorgeous .. I was introduced to salsa verde only a couple of years ago, and I gotta say I love it way more than the red salsa. Great recipe!

I made a tomatillo sauce a few months ago. I've had little experience making Mexican Food and while picking out my tomatillos I had a rather long conversation with several woman about how to pick a good tomatillo! It was fun and they were right, I made a delicious tomatillo sauce!
