Note
For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from the serrano or jalapeno pepper before blending.
If using fresh tomatillos instead of canned, peel and rinse them thoroughly, then boil or roast until soft before blending.
Salsa Verde can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The flavors may meld and deepen over time.
For a chunkier texture, pulse the blender a few times instead of blending until completely smooth.
