RED AND GREEN SALSA
This is good stuff - not the chunky kind but the kind you wish you could fit more of on your tortilla chip. Developed by San Francisco Chef Traci Des Jardins, cut out of an article in the New York Times food section. Tomatillos look like little green tomatoes in husks. If you don't have any available where you live, use a cup of salsa verde (green salsa) and adjust the additional heat downward accordingly. I've tried it both ways.

ROASTED GREEN TOMATO SALSA
My sister inspired me to make a green salsa similar to how you would make one by roasting tomatillos, but using all green tomatoes instead. This is a tangy and fresh tasting salsa using fresh lime juice and cilantro. Change the peppers and spices to your liking! Serve with tortilla chips or as a topping for chicken or fish.

GREEN (WHEN RIPE) TOMATO SALSA
This salsa is for tomatoes that are green when ripe. These tomatoes are tangy, spicy & sweet - all at once. One of the tastiest full sized green when ripe maters is Aunt Ruby's German Green. These are not your end of season leftovers. These maters rock! Do not use unripe tomatoes for this recipe - when eaten raw they'll give you a tummyache!

Tips:
- Choose the ripest tomatoes you can find, as they will have the best flavor. Feel free to mix and match red and green tomatoes, depending on what you have on hand.
- If you have time, roast the tomatoes before making the salsa. This will concentrate their flavor and give the salsa a smoky, complex taste.
- Use a sharp knife to dice the tomatoes and onions. This will help to prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Add a variety of herbs and spices to your salsa to give it a unique flavor. Some popular additions include cilantro, cumin, chili powder, and lime juice.
- If you like your salsa spicy, add a few chopped jalapeños or serrano peppers. Be sure to remove the seeds and ribs before chopping, as this is where the heat is concentrated.
- Store the salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Salsa is also easy to freeze, so you can make a larger batch and store some for later.

Red and green tomato salsa is a delicious, versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and more. It is also a great dip for chips or vegetables.
