Salsa de Tomatillos y Lima

This tart, mildly spicy, and bright green salsa is so delicious that you might want to double the recipe to have extra on hand. It's great mixed into guacamole or veggie sautés (for a little tangy kick). Or try it as a topping for anything from nachos to scrambled eggs to baked potatoes.

This recipe is an accompaniment for Oval Masa Cakes with Goat Cheese Filling .
