  1. Love the flavor of this one!!!! For a double batch, only had 1.25 lb tomatillos & used 5 tbs lime juice. I pulsed the onion and cilantro first. Removed it and pulsed the rest in order. Then added onion and cilantro back at the end for a final pulse. Less chopping and I am lazy.
     
  2. DH loved this dip, much better than the recipe I was using. Just used salsa verde for the tomatillos but otherwise was great. Used in Ninfa's Nachos.
     
  3. loved it! had never used tomatillos before but had some from organic veggie box delivery. This was delicious!
     
  4. Excellent! Made almost exactly as written. I used 6 cloves rather than just 4 and browned them along with the whole tomatillos in canola oil. Refrigerated the dip for a good hour prior to serving. There was just a little left and was even better the next day when used as dressing for a grilled chicken salad!!! Nice change from guacamole and we love it!! Thanks for sharing!
     
  5. Loved it! I did make a couple of changes---I didn't cook the tomatillos or garlic, and I added a serrano chile and doubled the garlic. Actually, the garlic was an accident, as I was making half the recipe and added all 4 cloves before I realized what I'd done. But, being the garlic lover I am, it wasn't too garlicky. Turned out great! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
