- Choose tomatillos that are firm and bright green.
- Select avocados that are ripe, but not overly soft.
- Tomatillos: Use green tomatoes instead. This substitution will still give the salsa a tart flavor, while providing a slightly sweeter taste.
- Serrano pepper: Use jalapeno pepper instead. This substitution will reduce the spiciness of the salsa, while still providing a mild kick of flavor.
Mango Salsa Replace the tomatillos with 123 grams of mango (4 mangoes), and replace the avocado with 500 grams of mango (3 mangoes). Blend until smooth.
