Tomatillo Salad

This tomatillo salad is bright flavored and refreshing. It's made with a combination of fresh tomatillos and butterhead lettuce and dressed with a creamy tomatillo ranch-style dressing. 

Fresh tomatillos are not actually tomatoes despite their appearance and their name. They come in a loose husk, and the skin is slightly sticky. They are actually related to gooseberries (aka golden berries).  Typically they are cooked and used to make stews such as pozole verde, enchilada sauce, and chile verde, as well as salsa verde.
