Ingredients
- 8 medium (about 1.5 lbs) Tomatillos
- 2 whole Green chilies
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 small Yellow or white onion
- 0.5 cup (loosely packed, chopped) Cilantro
- 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for added creaminess) Avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your broiler on high and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Step 2
Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them thoroughly to remove any sticky residue. Pat dry.
Step 3
Place the tomatillos, green chilies, peeled garlic cloves, and quartered onion onto the prepared baking sheet. Roast them under the broiler for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until they are charred and softened.
Step 4
Carefully transfer the roasted vegetables into a blender or food processor. Allow to cool for a few minutes before blending.
Step 5
Add the chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and avocado oil (if using) into the blender with the roasted veggies.
Step 6
Blend the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. For a chunkier salsa, pulse a few times. For a smoother salsa, blend until creamy.
Step 7
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice, if needed.
Step 8
Transfer to a serving bowl or airtight container. Let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
Serve as a dip for keto-friendly chips, a topping for grilled meats, or a flavorful addition to your favorite low-carb dishes. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
