My recipe of the day is for fresh  tomatillo salsa, made from scratch. You might also call this green sauce, or  salsa verde.

This version  is loosely based on Rick Bayless’ recipe. You can use this as salsa or spoon it over grilled chicken for a real treat. This also makes an excellent sauce for enchiladas verde.

This freezes well so plan to make extra and have it ready for next time.
