Simple Summer Salsa

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This simple summer tomatillo salsa will get your motor running!  It’s tangy and fresh tasting, a nice change from tomato based salsas that’s easy to whip up on a Sunday and put on everything from eggs to hamburgers the rest of the week!   Roasting and broiling the ingredients make for a slightly sweeter, more mellow salsa.

This is great anywhere you would use salsa, with chips (and cheese), on tacos or chili rellenos or tamales… well, you get the picture!

Adapted from a Ricky Bayless recipe.

    That sounds absolutely delicious, but I must say, the brown is a bit odd for a salsa.

    I am fascinated by the addition of peanuts to the salsa, but it sounds delicious, and not just for summer, either!!!
