Happy Cinco de Mayo! If you are planning a Mexican fiesta today, you are definitely going to want to include this Tomatillo Lime Salsa! The lime flavor in this salsa perfectly balances the (mild) spicy! This salsa is one the whole family enjoys!

Tomatillo Lime Salsa! I could not stop eating this stuff!  Little Dairy on the Prairie

Last fall my brother, sister in law, Justin and I went to a football game. We went to a Mexican restaurant in Utah. They served the most amazing tomatillo salsa. My sister in law and I loved it so much we wanted to order more, put and take it home in our purses!

The best Tomatillo Lime Salsa ever! Perfect combination of lime and spicy!  Little Dairy on the Prairie

The tomatillo salsa had a perfect amount of lime in it. Actually, it had a pretty strong lime flavor! It was mild, a tiny bit sweet and spicy. The flavors all came together to make an incredibly addicting salsa that I knew I had to come home and recreate.

Fresh Tomatillo Lime Salsa!!

I’m not exactly sure how long this salsa lasts in the fridge. I’m guessing about a week. We haven’t had any leftover longer than that.

I told my sister in law I wasn’t going to give her the recipe until she came and visited me. I guess she wins! Today she’s getting the recipe and she still hasn’t come to visit! Make it for you guests! They will fall in love with it and try to take it home in their purses!

Tomatillo Lime Salsa

Tomatillo Lime Salsa will quickly become one of your families favorite condiments. I'm hooked on the fresh lime flavor mixed with a mild spicy and sweet salsa!

      If you love Tomatillo Lime Salsa you will love this! I’m not exactly sure what the name of the restaurant. It was in Ogden, near the LDS temple. I googled restaurants on my phone and the restaurant had great reviews. I’m glad we tried it because it was yummy! Wish I could give you the name!

    I am so glad I found your blog. I was raised on a small ‘gentleman’s farm’ with 5 brothers! So I get the boys. I have raised 3 boys and 3 girls–we are now empty nesters. Life moves on–enjoy the moments. I think you are, wise woman.

      I’m glad you found me too! Farming is such a blessing in my attempt at raising my wild boys. I love having my boys around and am already dreading the empty nester years. Although I’m sure they are fun in an entirely different ways. Someday’s ways I wonder about my wisdom, but appreciate the vote of confidence!

    I love any kind of salsa so this will be a fun one to try.

    It looks like the recipe doesn’t call for any peppers so I am assuming the pepper on the jar lid and ring is just the perfect decoration to help us “eat with our eyes.” Love it the spoon in the jar, the pepper, the bold colored runner, the blue chip basket and the lime in the background. Good job.

    Being an empty nester is hard, you look back every day and wonder where the time went, so enjoy the boys today and then enjoy again tomorrow.

      Oops! It actually does have jalapeno in it! You could leave it out if you wanted the salsa to be really mild! We took these pictures when Emily was here! It was fun to have someone help come up with ways to set up this photo shoot!
