For something a little different, you could try some salsa verde.

1 1/2 lbs fresh tomatillos or 3 (11 ounce) cans tomatillas
5 fresh serrano chilies
3 garlic cloves, unpeeled
1/2 cup cilantro
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
coarse salt to taste

For roasted version: preheat broiler, remove husks and rinse tomatillos (if using fresh) under warm water to remove stickiness. If using canned, drain and measure out 2 cups. Broil chilies, garlic, and fresh tomatillos on rack of broiler pan, turning once until softened and slightly charred, about 7 minutes. Peel garlic, pull off tops of chiles. Puree, season with salt.

For all-raw version: Chop tomatillos and chilies, peel garlic. Combine all ingredients except onion in blender and puree. Rinse onion in cold water, stir into salsa, season with salt to taste.
