Salsa Verde - Delicious and Raw

9 medium to large tomatillos (16 - 18 tiny or small) OR 2 medium zucchini*
1 large bunch cilantro
juice of 1 lime
1 tsp salt (or as desired)
1 or more jalapeños (cut seeds out of some or all to decrease the spicy heat: start with 1 jalapeño, seeded, and taste the mixture, then add more chiles as desired.)
1 bunch green onions (optional)

Pulse until in very small pieces
Taste your mixture before serving and adjust the flavors to your liking. Remember, it is easier to add than to subtract when dialing in a recipe.

I made this spicy dish for a Christmas party and it was the belle of the ball. Although it is one of my raw recipes, the omnivores at the party put it on anything and everything - from chips to mashed potatoes to turkey.

This low calorie recipe can really spice up a meal, especially for those struggling with weight loss who find low fat often means low flavor!

*For those who aren’t partial to tomatillos(small green and tomato like), a substitution of zucchini works fine - 2 medium or 3 small should do the trick.
