Salsa salsa salsa! Nothing like a simple a perfect combination of Mexican spices, flavors, and cajones to inspire some sexy time. We got the right amount of flavor and heat without sending anyone home crying for their mommies. And this will come in handy as you lay out your finest game.

2. 1 bunch green onions
3. Salt to taste
4. 2 limes
5. 2 lbs fresh tomatillos

Transfer the boiled tomatillos, garlic, Serrano chilies to a blender or food processor and puree. Pour the liquefied goods into a bowl. Roughly chop up the green onions and cilantro and add to the bowl. Slice and squeeze in the limejuice, salt it up, mix it all together, and refrigerate until they cool (approx 30 min).
