Creamy Avocado Salsa Recipe
Description
Creamy Avocado Salsa Recipe combines ripe avocados and tomatillos for a smooth, creamy salsa with a mild heat from serrano chile. Mexican cream and garlic add richness and savory depth to this freshly blended sauce. The tomatillos provide a distinctive tartness that balances the mellow avocado. Blending all the ingredients until very smooth creates a sauce ideal for serving alongside grilled meats, as a dip, or as a topping for Mexican dishes.
The preparation includes peeling and blending all fresh ingredients, then chilling the salsa for at least an hour to let the flavors unify. This resting step enhances the creamy texture and allows the seasoning to develop fully.
Adjusting salt after chilling ensures balanced flavor. To prevent browning, tightly cover the salsa or add a splash of lime juice if desired. The level of heat can be modified by adding more serrano chile or substituting jalapeño peppers, depending on taste preferences.

- 3 avocado ripe
- 3 tomatillos
- 1 serrano chile

Instructions
- Pit the avocados and remove the flesh

Notes
- Cover the salsa tightly with plastic wrap to prevent browning when refrigerated.
