Since it’s a new year, I’m going to start making some changes around here, slowly, but surely. I’ve got a lot on my plate, I assure you it’s not as crunchable or delicious as the Trader Joe’s Quinoa & Black Bean Infused Tortilla chips seen in the above photo, so it could take a long time. Maybe I’ll take an entire year again? HOPEFULLY KIDDING. The Winter Games have been incredible to watch & as a former figure skater, they’re my favorite Olympics. Seeing the Scandinavian countries crush the slopes, but beaten by the French in skating & the Biathlon had my Boston fam & me on the edge of our $200 bargain Crate & Barrel couch. Incredible feats of skill & athleticism. I may not be pregnant, but I definitely know what kind of dreams I have for my future progeny: QUALIFY FOR THE OLYMPICS OR YOU’LL BRING GREAT DISHONOR TO OUR FAMILY. Just kidding, kind of.
So, even though the Olympics are over, the next time a major televised event happens & you feel like hosting a small or large group gathering around a large–or small, whatever, no judgement–screen of pixels, you can whip out your homemade tomatillo salsa, paired nicely with all the tortilla chips.
Tomatillo Salsaaaa
Fresh seasonal produce can make the biggest difference. Produce that’s in season not only taste better, but have more nutritional value than when they’re not in season. Tomatillos are usually in season in October. So, save this for that Halloween party, maybe? It’s best served chilled. Even if you feel like you want this salsa verde RIGHT NOW, if you can find some juicy tomatillos in your market, go for it. Swap out tomatillo for tomatoes & add more ingredients for that #1 hit salsa you’ve been dreaming about.
I didn’t know you were a former figure skater! I’m a big figure skating fan, so I really enjoyed watching the men’s figure skating live (because I was off work then) and was on the edge the entire time :3
The salsa recipe looks simpler than I’d expected! I’ve recently made my own pickles, so one day I will give salsa a try! :3
