tomatillo salsa

Green Mexican dip

Tomatillo salsa is a Mexican sauce made from tomatillos—small, tart green fruits with papery husks.

The tangy, bright flavor distinguishes it from red tomato-based salsas.

Also called salsa verde when blended smooth with chiles, cilantro, onion, and garlic: The tacos came with both red salsa and tomatillo salsa.
