Onto the recipe! I have always wanted to try making my own salsa verde, so when saw this recipe on Tasty Kitchen I couldn't wait to make it. It was really fun using tomatillos, a small green tomato covered in a papery like husk. This salsa is tangy, fresh, and easy. I loved the chunks of avocado and hubby loved the cilantro taste. We enjoyed it with tortilla chips and as a topping on tacos.
Tomatillo Avocado Salsa
From Laura @ Sweet Savory Planet
Printable Version
Ingredients
1/2 pound Tomatillos (about 4 medium Tomatillos)
1/2 cup Cilantro, loosely packed
2 whole Serrano, roughly chopped (Note: jalapeno can be substituted, which is what I used because my store didn't have Serranos)
1/4 cup water
1 Avocado, diced
1/2 medium sized white onion, diced
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Directions
Place tomatillos, cilantro, Serrano pepper, and water in a food processor and pulse until you have a slightly chunky puree.
Toss the avocado into the processor and pulse for a second or two. Make sure to keep the avocado in good sized chunks.
Place the diced onion in a colander and give it a good rinse in cold water to rid the onion of sulfur flavor. Add it to the salsa and stir. Season with salt and stir again. Taste to see if more salt is needed.
There are so many things that CSN has and I might put it towards the set of two All-Clad bakers. Love All-Clad.

What would I put the $35 towards? What wouldn't I put it towards? I suppose I'd settle on a few new mixing bowls (I have a small obsession with bowls) or the icecream attachment for my Kitchenaid mixer.
ReplyDeleteP.S. This recipe looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog, but it makes me so hungry because everything looks so delicious! I don't have time to go check the website, but I can tell you that I pretty much love anything new for the kitchen!

ReplyDeleteWow... you've earned another give-away that is awesome. I would love to purchase a programmable crock pot or an electric pressure cooker from CSN... I'm getting ready to cook some warm winter meals!
