The flavor is great but it DOES NOT make 2 & 1/2 quarts
Kim Rose
Easy! The flavor is amazing and it is delicious as a salsa or a sauce over pork or chicken. Very versatile!
Richard Williams
Way too much lime for me.
Walter Carroll
Delicious, and a great way to use the bounty of my tomatillo plants. I forgot the green pepper, and kept the seeds from the jalapenos and poblanos. Still turned out great. Just the right amount of heat.

I love this salsa! Its my favorite and I’ve always wanted to make it! It’s so easy and my family loves it. I keep most of the seeds from the peppers for some heat!
