　　Salsa verde cruda

　　This all-raw salsa can be thrown together in just ten minutes. And because it's made with tomatillos rather than tomatoes, it's less sweet and more refreshing than the more familiar red salsa. (We also think it's more interesting for topping Mexican dishes such as huevos rancheros or for eating with tortilla chips.)

Ingredients

　　1/2 pound small fresh tomatillos, husked and rinsed

　　1 large garlic clove

　　1 tablespoon chopped fresh serrano chile with seeds, or to taste

　　2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

　　2 tablespoons water

　　Coarsely chop tomatillos, then purée with remaining salsa ingredients and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender until smooth.
