Tomatillo Avocado Salsa

Being the salsa snob that I am, I take my Tomatillo Avocado Salsa very seriously. It’s half salsa / half guacamole and 100% perfection.

Ingredients

  • 6 medium tomatillos
  • 2 ripe avocados seeds and skin removed
  • 1 lime zested and juiced
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper plus more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • ½ Jalapeño seeds removed
  • ¼ cup cilantro
  • ¼ cup white onion roughly chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Remove the husks from the tomatillos. Rinse under warm water well and wipe clean. Cut the tomatillos in half and place into a baking pan. Roast for 20 minutes until they are tender.
  2. Remove and set aside to cool. Once cooled, add all ingredients to a food processor or blender and pulse for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  3. Let cool, adjust seasoning and serve with chips or crackers or as a topping to fish, chicken, steak etc.

Notes

  • If you haven't used tomatillos, make sure you remove the husk and then give them a quick wash as they can be sticky.
