Tomatillo salsa, often called salsa verde, is a vibrant and tangy condiment originating from Mexican cuisine. Made primarily from fresh tomatillos, this salsa typically includes ingredients like onion, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeño or serrano peppers for added heat. Tomatillos, the star ingredient, are low in calories and packed with vitamin C, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, making this salsa a nutritious addition to meals. The lime juice provides a dose of vitamin C, while the cilantro adds essential vitamins like vitamin K. Tomatillo salsa is naturally low in fat and sugar, making it a heart-healthy choice. However, sodium levels can vary depending on the recipe, so moderation is key if store-bought versions are used. Popular in traditional dishes like enchiladas verdes or as a topping for tacos and grilled meats, tomatillo salsa delivers bold flavor while enhancing the nutritional profile of any meal.
