Some of my favorite summer recipes

As I was thinking about what to write on today, I thought it would be really fun to talk about some of my favorite spring/summer foods. So for the next couple of weeks I will be sharing some of my family's favorites for this time of year. Although it's too early to use tomatillos from your own garden-- if you grow them like we do-- tomatillo salsa or salsa verde is one of my personal faves. You'll just have to get them from your local market for now. Its a really great alternative to conventional salsa most of us are used to eating. It has a really nice tangy, smokey quality to it that I really enjoy, not to mention how incredibly fresh it is when you make it yourself. Enjoy with corn chips, pita, or whole grain chips.
11/2 lbs tomatillos
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup cilantro leaves
2 jalapeno peppers seeded (for those who like it spicy)
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 tsp sugar
salt to taste
--Husk tomatillos, cut in half and place on a boiler pan and broil for 4-6 minutes until slightly blackened. Place tomatillos and other ingredients in food processor and mix on pulse until thouroughly blended. Chill before eating...
