Green and Delicious Avocado and Tomatillo Salsa
This is a delicious salsa you can serve as a snack, a condiment, or an appetizer. Put out a nice big bowl of it with crackers or chips at a party and watch it disappear. Serve it with pork, chicken, or fish as a spicy sauce. Your family and guests will think they are at a fine restaurant instead of around the dining room table. It is quick to make, so you could just whip up a batch when you get hunger pangs in the afternoon.
This salsa is very similar to salsa verde with its tart tomatillos. Adding avocado, however, creates a creamy texture that elevates it to a whole new level. Making a delicious avocado and tomatillo salsa is a perfect accompaniment with your next meal of tacos or enchiladas. The flavors are bright and spicy. They wake up your taste buds and make them demand more.
The great thing about salsas is that you use fresh ingredients. Do not open a can; chop up some fresh ingredients and whip them together. In minutes, you have a delicious dish chock full of nutrition and flavor. Get the freshest ingredients you can and you will taste the difference in comparison to salsa from a jar. It is hard to see how they are even related. Fresh salsas add color and flavor to any meal. Put salsa on eggs, bread, chips, meat, or mix it in salad, rice, or pasta. You are really limited only by your imagination. Add some salsa to your life. Start with this one and see what you think.
