Being the salsa snob that I am, I take my Tomatillo Avocado Salsa very seriously. It's half salsa / half guacamole and 100% perfection.
For the longest time I was quite intimidated by tomatillos. I didn't know what to do with them, they had their weird husk thing on the outside, and someone once told me they were sour. I was like... hold the phone. No thank you. But as soon as I exited my picky eater stage, I was very much a fan of tomatillos. In my mind it's simple - you take off the husks, give them a good wash with hot water, cut them in half, roast the heck out of them, and then puree them into a salsa. I've done a traditional tomatillo salsa before which is excellent - and today it's a salsa meets guacamole situation that can be used as a dip, as a salsa, as a sauce, or whatever else you please!

Instructions

I'm a facebook fan as well
I can eat avocados with everything. Love it on its own and added to just about any meal.
I never used to be an avocado fan, but I recently gave them another try and let me tell you, I love them! I do like a good guacamole, but I love to eat them just sliced on a sandwich or burger or in salad!
jealous! I'm missing California (and the abundance of fresh produce) so much more!!
My favorite way to enjoy an avocado is with a little salt...and a spoon!
I am already a fan of the facebook page
I like them all sliced up with a little sea salt, no need to get all fancy with them. They are awesome just as they are!
I'm a facebook fan ; )
Guacamole of course ; )
ok, it's not my favorite way but it is unusual...i like to have my avocados with Ponzu Sauce! 🙂
I follow you on Facebook.
Cubed, in salads. I love the way the avocado coats the leaves when you toss it.
I actually puree the avocado in the food processor and mix it with my 5 month old whole grain baby cereal 🙂 she loves it!
I already like on Facebook!
Obviously...being from Texas, I LOVE quacamole...however I recently discovered a great way is to fix it like a baked potato. I saw this at a wedding, just load it up with sour cream, cheese, bacon bits, grilled chicken...whatever you want, and yummmmmmmm!
