Salsa de Aguacate (Avocado and Tomatillo Sauce) Authentic Mexican Recipe
Try this simple-yet-succulent salsa on tacos, tostadas or salads (and of course for dipping with chips!). A refreshing alternative to typical red salsa or guacamole. Unlike guacamole, this avocado dip won’t discolor, thanks to the naturally acidic tomatillos.
Ingredients
| 1/2 | pound | tomatillos, shucked and quartered |
| 3–4 | ripe Haas avocados, peeled and pitted | |
| 3–5 | Serrano chiles | |
| 1/4 | small | onion |
| 2 | large cloves | garlic |
| 1 | bunch | cilantro, divided |
| 1 | teaspoon | salt |
| 1/4 – 1/2 | cup | water |
Directions
- Place the tomatillos, avocados, chiles, onion, garlic, half of the cilantro, salt and 1/4 cup of water in a blender and puree until smooth.
- Add more water if needed to achieve the desired consistency, then transfer the mixture to a bowl.
- Chop the leaves and soft stems of the remaining cilantro and stir into the salsa.
Preparation Time:
