One of my new coworkers, Maria, brought me a zip-top bag of washed and prepped ingredients and told me to just throw it all in a blender. In a matter of seconds, this delicious salsa verde was born! The salsa gets its creaminess from the addition of avocado. For a mild salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from all 3 jalapenos; for extra spicy, leave them all in. I prefer to leave the seeds in only 1 jalapeno.

Ingredients

¾ pound tomatillos, husked and rinsed
3 medium jalapenos, halved lengthwise
1 medium ripe avocado - halved, seeded, and flesh scooped out of peel
1 clove garlic, peeled
¼ cup packed cilantro leaves
salt to taste

Directions

Combine tomatillos, jalapenos, avocado, garlic, cilantro, and salt in a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Adjust salt if necessary and transfer to a serving bowl. Can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Cook's Notes:

Make sure to select ripe tomatillos for the salsa. For a thinner salsa, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

Wear gloves while seeding the jalapenos.

3/4 pound is about 8 tomatillos.
