Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice (from about 2 limes)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 mini sweet peppers, mixed colors
1 small white onion
1 1/2 pounds medium tomatillos, husks removed
1 ripe avocado, 3/4-inch dice
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
1/4 cup queso fresco, crumbled
1/4 cup toasted pepitas

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler to high and adjust an oven rack to the top level.
  • Whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
  • Dice the peppers and onion into bite-size pieces (about 1/2 inch).
  • Place the tomatillos stem-side down on a sheet pan and place under the broiler. Char until the tops are blackened, about 3 minutes. Flip and broil 3 more minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large cast-iron skillet on high heat and add the peppers and onions. Spread them out in an even layer and sear in the dry skillet until lightly charred, about 4 minutes.
  • Dice the tomatillos into 1/2-inch chunks. Toss all the vegetables into the bowl with the lime dressing. Stir in the diced avocado and top with the cilantro, queso fresco and toasted pepitas.

I'm not a fan of jicama, so I used radishes instead. The salad was still delicious and refreshing.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad didn't turn out as good as the picture. The tomatillos were too sour and the dressing was too bland.

This salad is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think I can tone it down by using less jalapeño next time.

I'm allergic to cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The salad was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with the cilantro.

I'm not a huge fan of tomatillos, but I really enjoyed this salad. The charred flavor of the tomatillos was mellowed out by the other ingredients, and the dressing was delicious.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover tomatillos. I had some in my fridge that were starting to go bad, and this salad was the perfect way to use them up.

This charred tomatillo salad is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The smokiness of the charred tomatillos pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the corn and the crunch of the jicama. The dressing is light and tangy, and it brings all the fl
