  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/4 teaspoon table salt

Instructions

Notes

  • Pro tip:  Poblano peppers are mild in heat, so if you like spicy food I recommend substituting them with 1-2 jalapeño peppers.
  • Tomatillo salsa has a decent amount of liquid similar to salsa made with raw tomatoes.  If you'd like a creamier texture, add the flesh of a small pitted and peeled avocado!
  • Store salsa in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
