 ====== Salsa ======
-This classic condiment can be made a multitude of ways. Salsa is incredibly versatile, and its many variations can be used in a multitude of dishes, or served on its own with tortilla chips.
+This classic condiment can be made a multitude of ways. Salsa is incredibly versatile. Its many variations can be used in a wide variety of dishes, or served on its own with tortilla chips as a quick snack.
+All of these recipes can be infinitely adjusted for taste & heat by tweaking the ingredient ratios. Experiment with smaller batches and find what works best for you!
-===== Green Sauce #1 =====
-The avocado-based "green sauce" they serve at taco trucks is super easy to make at home. Simply chop up the following items and throw them in a blender:
+===== Salsa Verde #1 =====
-  - 2-3 Tomatillos, peeled and rinsed.
+{{ :diy:recipes:greensauce.jpg?250|}}
-  - 1-2 Serrano Peppers //(Can be substituted with other hot peppers.)//
-  - 2 small Avocados, or 1 large Avocado //(Any cultivar works, but "Dominican" or "Florida" preferable.)//
-  - 1/2 cup Red Onion
-  - Optionally season with fresh cilantro, lime juice and/or salt.
-Makes enough sauce for several day's worth of tacos or burritos. Add more peppers //(or use hotter peppers like Scotch Bonnets, Datils or Habaneros)// to increase heat. You can also briefly roast or broil the tomatillos in the oven beforehand to tweak the flavor profile.
+Not all //"green sauces"// are created equal. Some of you are probably familiar with an avocado-based salsa verde that many street taco vendors serve in tiny cups. It is super easy to make at home, which is great because it can only be truly enjoyed fresh. Simply chop up the following items and throw them in a blender:
+  * 2-3 Tomatillos, peeled and rinsed.
+  * 1-2 Serrano Peppers //(Can be substituted with other hot peppers.)//
+  * 2 small Avocados, or 1 large Avocado //(Any cultivar works, but "Dominican" or "Florida" green-skin avocados are preferable.)//
+  * 1/2 cup Red Onion
+  * Optionally season with fresh cilantro, lime juice and/or salt.
-===== Green Sauce #2 =====
+Makes enough sauce for several day's worth of tacos or burritos. Add more peppers //(or use hotter peppers like Scotch Bonnets, Datils or Habaneros)// to make it spicier. You can also briefly roast or broil the tomatillos beforehand to tweak the flavor profile.
+===== Salsa Verde #2 =====
