  • “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.”

  • “loved it! had never used tomatillos before but had some from organic veggie box delivery. This was delicious!”

  • “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!”

  • “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!”
