You could add some very finely chopped garlic if you like it Yvonne 😉

My husband and two eldest children love this version of salsa verde! They actually prefer it to the one with the cooked tomatillos.

You eat the tomatillos raw? It doesn’t indicate to boil prior.

Hi Pati,
I grew up in Mexico but my parents were immigrants so I never learned to make homemade Mexican food. I also don’t have any handed down kitchen wisdom so I am wondering: how many days do raw salsa and cooked salsa last in the fridge? Also, is it better to make and serve immediately or does the raw salsa benefit from “sitting” for a while (like chimichurri, for example)?
I’m belatedly learning to cook my favorite foods with you. Thank you for making these delicious recipes so accessible.

Thanks to you for the kind words Teresa. Salsa cruda is very versatile and it stays in the fridge for up to a week, enjoy!
