Tomatillo Salsa

I was addicted to a phenomenal tomatillo salsa that lulled me into a pleasure-induced coma when I worked at a Mexican restaurant as a college student in Los Angeles. The pleasure of this taste sensation was quickly eclipsed by the agony of the hungry hoards who greedily took advantage of the freebies harping,“more chips and salsa” in high-pitched squeals of desperation.

As these greedy patrons impatiently waited for their main meals, I was forced to make countless agonizing trips back and forth to tomatillo- and margarita-stained tables. It was the bane of my existence. I left that job thinking that if I ever heard the phrase “more chips and salsa” again I would willingly jam needles into my eyes. Thank goodness I can forget the pain and remember the pleasure.

This raw take on tomatillo salsa is super easy and bursting with just the right balance of zesty and spicy that does makes it hard to quit eating.

More Chips and Salsa please!
