Tomatillos are the base of green salsa (salsa verde) and a staple of Mexican and Tex-Mex cooking. Though not actually related to tomatoes, tomatillos have a tart, acidic taste that's quite similar to underripe ones. Serve this dip with any fresh veggies you have on hand—sliced jicama, carrots, mini cucumbers, and radishes are crisp, colorful and scoopable options.
