Avocado Tomatillo Dip
A delicious green dip with a smooth and creamy texture, blending the richness of avocado with the bright tanginess of tomatillos.
Ingredients
- 5-6 tomatillos, husked and rinsed
- ½ white onion, chopped
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 ripe avocado, pitted and peeled
- 1 tablespoon lime juice Salt to taste
Instructions
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the tomatillos and cook for 5 minutes or until they soften.
- Drain the tomatillos and place them in a blender or food processor with the onion, jalapeño (if using), garlic, and cilantro.
- Blend until smooth.
- Add the avocado and lime juice to the blender and pulse until combined, but still slightly chunky.
- Season with salt to taste.
- Transfer the dip to a bowl and serve with your favorite chips or veggies.
Notes
- If you like a spicier dip, leave the seeds in the jalapeño.
- For a smoother dip, blend the avocado with the other ingredients until completely smooth.
- To store, place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the dip to prevent browning and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
