Bright, creamy, and loaded with flavor! This avocado tomatillo salsa verde is the perfect marriage between guacamole and salsa, making it a perfect compliment to any meal, taco, chip, or party spread!
Equipment
- blender or food processer
Ingredients
- 7-8 Tomatillos medium sized
- 2 Jalapenos
- 1 Avocado large (or two small)
- 1/4 C Cilantro
- 2 tbsp Lime juice fresh squeezed
- 1/4 C Green Grapes
- 1 1/2 tsp Garlic minced
- 1/2 shallot
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- dash olive oil
- to taste salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 while you rinse and quarter tomatillos and peppers. Remove ribs and seeds of peppers. Toss with a bit of olive oil, salt, and garlic powder and arrange on a baking sheet.
- Roast your tomatillos and peppers at 400 for 15-20 minutes (20+ mins being more charred, 15 mins being just shy of charred).
- Meanwhile, throw all other ingredients into a blender - avocado, cilantro, lime juice, grapes, shallot, garlic, salt, and paprika - wait to blend until your tomatillos and peppers are ready!
- Remove tomatillos and peppers from oven and pour them directly into the blender with the other ingredients (including juices in the pan). Blend for about 20-30 seconds (less for chunkier salsa, more for runnier). Add more salt to taste!
- Pour and serve immediately as a dip, drizzle over tacos, or alongside any meal! Enjoy!
