Cilantro-Lime Avocado Salsa
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 2 Ripe avocados
- 6 Fresh tomatillos
- 1 Jalapeño (optional, for added spice)
- 1/2 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped 🌿
- 2 tbsp Fresh lime juice 🍋
- 1 clove Garlic, minced 🧄
- Salt to taste 🧂
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep the Tomatillos: Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them to remove the sticky film. 🧼🍅
- Blend the Base: Place the tomatillos, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, lime juice, and garlic into a blender or food processor. 🌪️
- Add the Creaminess: Scoop the flesh of the two avocados into the blender.
- Pulse to Perfection: Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunkier salsa, just pulse it a few times! 🥑✨
- Season: Add salt to taste and give it one final quick stir. 🧂
- Serve & Store: Transfer to a container and serve immediately or chill in the fridge.
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Green” Secret: The lime juice and the acidity from the tomatillos help keep the avocado from browning, so this salsa stays beautiful and bright green! 🍏✨
- Texture Control: If the salsa is too thick, add a tablespoon of water or extra lime juice until it reaches your desired consistency. 💧🍋
