Tasty Tailgate: Luke Christian’s Tomatillo Salsa

The most memorable tailgating experience starts with a delicious recipe! This football season, our Tasty Tailgate series features UGA alumni sharing their favorite recipes to enjoy throughout the football season. 

Today’s recipe is from Luke Christian (AB ’01), founder and CEO of Surcheros. We all know that dip is a tailgate essential, and Luke Christian’s salsa is guaranteed to score big.  

Ingredients

Recipe for 2 quarts

1/2 can drained tomatillos 

1/2 cup chopped yellow onions 

1 cup uncut, pushed down cilantro 

1/2 cup minced jalapeno 

2 teaspoons sea salt 

2 cups ice 

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients to a blender. Blend for 90 seconds or until smooth. There should be no whole pieces of tomatillo or onion. Cilantro should be blended well and no visible “big” pieces. Blend more if needed.
2. Spoon out into your festive dip dish or into a travel container to take to your tailgate. This salsa is best the day it is made!
