Avocado and Tomatillo Salsa

Fresh Avocado and Tomatillo Salsa is easy to make in minutes in your food processor. Try it today with all your Mexican favorites!

During the summer you’ve probably seen tomatillos at the farmers’ market or in your CSA box.

One of my favorite ways to eat them is raw in a salsa.

By the way, did I mention that I love salsa?

And since everything is better with avocado, I decided to combine these two wonderful ingredients.

Enjoy this salsa with chips or veggies, as a tangy salad dressing, or with cooked dishes such as tacos or enchiladas.
