Foodie Favorite: Green Salsa

A few weeks ago I met a couple individuals that owned a taco stand in Chicago. We started talking about the best Mexican restaurants in the area, which then led to a conversation about salsa. Long story short, one of the gentlemen gave me his secret ingredient to make the “best green salsa.” I tried it out this past week, and it did not disappoint. 

Ingredients:

• 5 medium to large tomatillos
• Jalapeño or Serrano (I used one of each for extra heat)
• 1/2 onion
• 1-2 garlic cloves
• Cilantro
• Lime juice
• 1 Tbsp Knorr Caldo con Sabor (the secret ingredient)
• Extra chopped onion and cilantro

Directions:

• Boil tomatillos and peppers for about 5 minutes until soft.
• Strain tomatillos and pepper and then place in blender with 1/2 onion, garlic, salt, squeeze of lime, cilantro, and the secret ingredient (Knorr Caldo con Sabor). Pulse until thoroughly mixed and liquified to the consistency you like.
• Place salsa in a large bowl and mix in chopped onion and cilantro (as much as you’d like).
• Chill in the fridge and enjoy!
