Guacamole Salsa
Description
This Guacamole Salsa starts by boiling husked tomatillos and seedless jalapeños until softened, which mellows their sharpness. After draining, the cooked vegetables are combined in a blender with ripe avocado, fresh cilantro, chopped onion, garlic cloves, lime juice, and kosher salt. Blending yields a luscious, smooth salsa with both the brightness of tomatillos and the creamy texture of avocado.
The flavor is a lively mixture of tart and savory with a moderate heat level depending on how the jalapeños are prepared. Lime juice enhances the freshness, and salt balances the flavors. The texture is creamy but still pourable, making it versatile for dipping chips or as a topping on tacos and grilled dishes.
This salsa is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days. Adjust spiciness by keeping jalapeño seeds or swapping in serrano peppers for a hotter version.
Ingredients
- 8 tomatillo husked and rinsed
- 2 jalapeno pepper stemmed and seeded
- water as needed
- 2 avocado halved and pitted
- ½ cup cilantro packed
- ¼ cup chopped yellow onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (about ½ lime)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more as needed
Instructions
- In a medium pot, add the tomatillos, jalapeños, and enough water to completely cover them. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 6-8 minutes until vegetables have softened.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tomatillos and jalapeños to a blender. Add the avocados, cilantro, onion, garlic, lime juice and salt. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and add more salt as needed.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
Notes
- Leave in jalapeño seeds and veins to increase heat level.
- Use serrano peppers instead of jalapeños for a spicier salsa.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
