Make this roasted green tomato salsa for a fresh, tangy dip that tastes like salsa verde. It is perfect for chips or as a taco topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs green tomatoes
  • 1 white onion, quartered
  • 2 jalapeño peppers (adjust for spice level)
  • 4 cloves garlic, unpeeled
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, packed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the green tomatoes, onion quarters, jalapeño peppers, and unpeeled garlic cloves on a baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, turning once, until the tomatoes are softened and slightly charred.
  4. Remove the garlic skins once cool enough to handle. Remove the stems from the jalapeños.
  5. Transfer the roasted vegetables (tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, and garlic) to a food processor.
  6. Add the cilantro, lime juice, salt, and cumin to the food processor.
  7. Pulse the mixture until you reach your desired consistency. For a chunky green salsa, pulse briefly. For a smoother salsa verde, process longer.
  8. Taste the salsa and adjust salt or lime juice as needed.
  9. Serve immediately as a game day dip or cool completely before storing.

Notes

  • If you have a garden surplus, you can safely can this recipe using proper water bath canning techniques for preservation.
  • For an extra spicy green tomato sauce, leave the seeds in the jalapeños.
  • This tangy green tomato dip is excellent served over grilled fish or chicken.
