Description

Spicy, lower fat version of guacamole, full of healthy veggies and tart tomatillos.

Ingredients

  • 2 whole Avocados
  • 2 whole Tomatillos, Husks Removed And Rinsed
  • ½ whole Onion, Chopped
  • 2 whole Jalapenos
  • 6 cloves Garlic
  • ½ bunches Cilantro
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt

Preparation

Here is an easy way to get the avocado pit out: Cut the avocado in half so that the pit is sticking out of one side, whack at the pit with your knife so your knife gets stuck in the pit, and pry out the pit with your knife. Use a spoon to scoop out the goodness.

Throw all the ingredients into a blender or food processor. Blend until ingredients are pureed.

Place the salsa in the refrigerator for a few hours. Like a lot of salsas, it actually tastes better the next day. If you taste it after several hours and it still tastes too acidic, you can add sugar to mellow the flavor.

Here is my mom’s tip: If you want your salsa to last even longer, pour in a little of the juice from pickled jalapeños.
