Low Sodium Salsa Verde

AuthorKelly Jensen
This Low Sodium Salsa Verde recipe is a bright, fresh, and spicy homemade green salsa that's easy to make in your blender with fresh tomatillos. This salsa verde (green salsa) is healthy & naturally low in sodium but big on flavor! Great to enjoy as a dip for fresh tortilla chips, to top your huevos rancheros, or to add into your next taco night.

Ingredients
  

  • 12 tomatillos husks removed
  • 2 to 3 cups water
  • 1 sweet onion chopped, divided
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 3 jalapenos seeds removed for milder flavor
  • 1 bunch cilantro stems removed

Instructions
 

  • 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.
  • Strain the vegetables out of the pot and add to a blender. Save the cooking water in case you need to thin the salsa.
  • 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.
  • Serve with fresh corn tortilla chips or enjoy on top of burritos, taco bowls, and beans and rice.
