Salsa? Too broad. Guacamole? Wrong fruit. My brain felt like a tangled mess of tomatillos and spices, unable to settle on the perfect word. I even resorted to frantically googling “tomatillo dip” – but even that wasn’t helping.
But then, a flash of inspiration! I recalled a dish I’d enjoyed at a local Mexican restaurant, a vibrant green concoction that was tangy, spicy, and oh-so-delicious. Could this be it? The answer to the elusive clue?
My fingers danced across the keyboard as I typed in the possible answer, a surge of triumph washing over me as the letters filled in the grid. Ah, the satisfaction of a solved crossword puzzle!
While I won’t give away the answer just yet (gotta keep the fun going, right?), let me tell you – this clue is a real head-scratcher. It’s a great example of how even the simplest clue can lead to a challenging word puzzle.
