Tips

  • The deeper the color of the charred vegetables, the deeper the flavor.
  • Taste and adjust with lime if needed.
  • Serve right away or chill for even more flavor.
  • You can pulse the salsa until smooth or chunky, however you like it.
  • Use four jalapeños if not using serrano.
  • When charring the vegetables, flip occasionally so all sides get blistered and golden.
  • Make sure to peel your garlic before adding it to the blender.
  • When adding the Grillo's pickles, drain them first but reserve the juice for later use in the blender.
  • If you love pickles, this recipe is a must-try!
