Ingredients for Avocado Cilantro Salsa

  • Avocados
  • Tomatillos
  • Cilantro Leaves
  • Onion
  • Pepper Sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

How to Make Avocado Cilantro Salsa

  1. Halve and pit a ripe avocado. Scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (adjust to your spice preference), 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (or more, to taste), and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. You may need to add a tablespoon or two of water to achieve desired consistency.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more lime juice, salt, or Tabasco for extra zing.
  5. If not serving immediately, cover the salsa with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent browning. Refrigerate for up to 2 days.
  6. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips, grilled fish, tacos, or as a topping for your favorite dishes!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
