Mmmm, I love fresh salsa, and this is my new favorite. I love anything with cilantro, and this salsa has plenty of it. Maybe I should call this “Cilantro Mango Tomatillo Salsa”? Nah.

Step 1:

Peel the skins off of about 10 tomatillos. I just made up that number…I don’t really remember how many I used. I think about 10 would be good, though.

Here are some peeled tomatillos in my nifty pull-out fresh fruit/vegetable container from my fridge. I was surprised to find that they are pretty sticky underneath those skins.

Step 2:

Slice up 1-2 green onions. You don’t really have to slice them this thin since they’re going into a food processor in a couple minutes.

Step 3:

Slice about half of your tomatillos into quarters.

Step 4:

Put the quartered tomatillos, sliced green onions, a couple teaspoons of lime juice, and a couple huge handfuls of cilantro into a food processor. You could also add a couple sliced jalapenos if you’re feelin’ crazy.

I also like to add a little bit of green tabasco sauce. It’s fairly mild (but still spicy if you’re sensitive to hot stuff), and it has a nice flavor too. Personally, I like hot stuff. That’s why I married Tim.

Step 5:

Process it all up, baby!

Step 6:

Slice the rest of your tomatillos into small chunks.

Step 7:

Cut 1-2 mangoes into chunks and peel off the skins. Did anyone else notice the dramatic difference in the color of this picture and the previous picture? I’ll tell you a secret. It’s because these pictures were taken on different days at different times of the day! I know, it’s kinda crazy ’round these parts.

Please, ignore the messy green stuff all over my counter-top. It’s from the cilantro tomatillo mixture.

Step 8:

Cut the mango into smaller chunks. (Notice that I cleaned up the green stuff and now my precious moments kitchen towel is sitting in the background).

Step 9:

Add the chopped mango and chopped tomatillos to the mixture from the food processor. Mmmm, it already looks good.

Step 10:

Mix everything together and enjoy!

This is how Tim enjoys his salsa: on top of eggs with sautéed mushrooms.
