This vibrant tomatillo salsa with serranos is a classic vegan condiment that brings a bright, tangy lift to any Mexican-inspired feast. By gently boiling the tomatillos and garlic before blending, you mellow their sharp acidity, creating a balanced sauce that highlights the fresh notes of lime and earthy cumin. The addition of serrano chillies provides a crisp heat that cuts through the richness of avocado or fried snacks.
As a versatile addition to your plant-based repertoire, this salsa verde works beautifully drizzled over roasted vegetables, stirred into bean stews, or simply served with corn chips. Because it keeps well in the fridge for several days, it is an excellent make-ahead option for busy weeknights or weekend gatherings. For the best flavour, ensure you rinse the chopped onions in cold water to remove their harsh bite before pulsing.
