This Tomatillo Salsa Verde was the perfect recipe to make this summer with our tomatillo harvest from the garden. This was our first time planting tomatillos and they absolutely exploded and took over our garden beds. Our friend Vero gave us her family’s tomatillo salsa recipe and we couldn’t wait to make it!

I had never made homemade salsa before, and I am a total convert. It was so simple, and the result was perfectly spiced salsa. I boiled the tomatillos and some vegetables, added them to a blender with fresh cilantro and peppers. This is a fantastic salsa for anyone looking to enjoy low sodium recipes, no salt added!

Recipes with Garden Tomatillos

This tomatillo salsa Verde recipe is the perfect way to use those extra garden tomatillos.  Throughout the summer our garden is overloaded with tomatillo plants all ripening at once.  I make this garden fresh salsa recipe with my extra green tomatillos and a tasty dip is ready in no time. Enjoy that summer garden bounty with this bright and fresh salsa recipe all summer long. 

There’s nothing better than seasonal produce right out of the garden – if not your garden, then get fresh tomatillos at your local farmer’s market stand.

What’s In This Low Sodium Salsa Verde with Tomatillos?

See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

• Tomatillos – husks removed, washed, and boiled whole!
• Onion
• Garlic
• Jalapenos or Green Chiles
• Cilantro

How Do I Make Salsa Verde?

1. In a medium sized pot, add the tomatillos, half the onion, half the garlic, the jalapenos to the pot. Pour in enough water to just cover the tomatillos. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and simmer for 15 minutes until the tomatillos are soft.
2. Strain the vegetables out of the pot and add to a blender. Save the cooking water in case you need to thin the salsa.
3. To the blender add all the cooked vegetables, and the remaining 1/2 chopped onion, the 3 cloves of garlic, and the fresh chopped cilantro.  Blend on low speed and work up to high speed so the salsa is completely blended. Thin with 1 tablespoon of the vegetable cooking water if desired.
4. Serve with fresh corn tortilla chips or enjoy on top of burritos, taco bowls, and beans and rice.

The Best Blender for Salsa

I recommend using a good-quality high speed blender for this recipe. I have a fantastic Vitamix blender, which I have been using for years, and it gets daily use in our home.

Choose a blender that has a lot of power, and can pulverize even the toughest of ingredients. My blender can chop ice, dates, frozen fruits, make soups, and even blend nuts into homemade nut butter. Using a good high-speed blender will make perfectly creamy smoothies and sauces every time!
