This salsa is fresh and creamy. It's great as a chip dip or as a topper for tacos and other Mexican dishes. You can adjust the spiciness to your liking. —Nanette Hilton, Las Vegas, Nevada

TomatillosAlso called a Mexican green tomato, the tomatillo is a green fruit that is covered with a thin papery brown husk that is removed before using. It resembles a small green tomato in size and shape, once the husk is removed, and is used in Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes including guacamole, salsa and sauce. Tomatillos are mild in flavor and offer a hint of lemon and apple which is enhanced by cooking.

It tastes great, it's easy to make, and it keeps for a while! It's good with chips, tacos, and burritos.

I haven't had green salsa before so I'm no expert on how it should taste. This was a good accompaniment to our tamales but I don't know that I'll go out of my way to make it again. Not too hot. Makes a lot.
