With all the hot weather we have been having, I wanted to fix something light and delicious...well, tomatillas really hit the mark. Usually you use this veggie in salsas but why not consider changing things up and eating it raw? Tangy, a little sour yet oh so refreshing! Put a small dice on these babies and let's mix it up in a salad:
Tomatillo Salad with Arugula
3 tomatillos, papery skin removed, wiped with damp cloth, and finely chopped
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 medium ripe avocado, peeled, seeded and diced
1/2 cucumber, diced
6 sundried tomatoes, diced
1 bunch finely chopped scallions
1 finely chopped red bell pepper
1 ear corn, cooked and removed from cob
1 pureed roasted pepper of choice ( I used ancho)
2 tsp cumin
Juice of 2 limes
5 tsp minced cilantro
1/2 tsp salt , pepper
1 cup arugula
Mix and serve...
This recipe will feed 8 people as a side but get ready to double it because everyone will want seconds!
Have fun!
