It’s springtime in North Carolina.  The weather is warm, the greenery is lush, and vines are promising lots of summer tomatoes. But, not just yet.

I love a fresh tomato salsa but have been underwhelmed by the tomatoes available in the grocery stores right now.  Recently a friend requested I bring salsa to a dinner party, so I turned to the tomato’s cousin: the tomatillo.
