Green tomatoes can often stand in for tomatillos (or use half of each in any recipe that calls for tomatillos). In this fresh salsa, diced green tomatoes are used instead of tomatillos, but the taste is remarkably similar. It’s lovely with any mild white fish or simply-cooked chicken breast. I also like to thinly slice cold leftover chicken and make sandwiches with this salsa on great crusty bread and a drizzle of olive oil.
