The best of two worlds, avocado and salsa verde come together to create this delicious Avocado Salsa Verde. Blend tomatillos, serrano pepper, onion, garlic, cilantro and an avocado and you have one of the best Mexican salsas ever!
Okay so how much do I say I love salsa verde? And how much do I say I love avocados? If you know me personally or know me through Mexican Appetizers and More, then you already know how much I love both.
Salsa verde and avocados are all kinds of yum for me! Infuse these two foods together and you now have a mouth jarring salsa that is on a whole other level of deliciousness.
So here’s to the amazing super versatile AVOCADO SALSA VERDE!
Mexican Avocado Salsa
Yes, I have a thing with salsas and dips. A salsa/dip is just extra inviting when it’s multi-functional. And a Mexican avocado salsa hence avocado salsa verde is just that! You can have it with pretty much whatever you like!!
Who wants the same salsa with chips and dip, or with steak and chicken?
That being said, in my book you need to be able to have plenty of salsas in your inventory of salsas to combine with different dishes and appetizers.
I don’t know but that’s just me, I get really bored quickly with “same old, same old.” I need a little more excitement in my meals. And salsas are so affordable and super simple to make!
But the thing is a salsa cannot just be affordable and simple. It has to taste really good. In my case, really really good for me to make it again and again….
This avocado salsa verde definitely makes the cut for a delicious simplistic salsa.
