Avocado Salsa
Avocado salsa is a creamy and tangy delight, featuring a spicy kick from serranos, or jalapeños that help preserve its vibrant green color.
Ingredients
Oven
- 1/2 lb tomatillos, peeled and rinsed
- 2 serrano peppers
- 1/4 white onion, thin wedges
- 2 garlic cloves, unpeeled
- Drizzle of avocado oil
Blender
- 1/4 bunch cilantro
- 1 small raw garlic clove, peeled
- 1 large avocado
- 1 TBSP lime juice
- 1 cup water
- To taste salt
Instructions
Oven
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Make a small incision in the center of each serrano pepper. Place the peppers, tomatillos, onion, and two unpeeled garlic cloves on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Drizzle with avocado oil, then roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through; remove and let cool.
Blender
- Transfer the roasted vegetables into a blender, peeling the garlic and removing the stems from the peppers first; then add the cilantro, raw garlic clove, avocado flesh, lime juice, salt, and water.
- Blend until smooth, leaving a few specks of cilantro; then transfer to a bowl and adjust the salt to taste.
