Step 1
In a blender, combine the creamy avocado, tangy tomatillo, flavorful onion, spicy jalapeno, pungent garlic, zesty lime juice, fresh cilantro, aromatic cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend everything together until it transforms into a smooth and vibrant mixture, which usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes. This delightful green concoction will be the perfect base for a delicious dip or sauce.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your avocados ripe and ready to go by storing them in a paper bag with a ripe banana. The ethylene gas emitted by the banana will help accelerate the ripening process.
- 2. To maintain the bright green color of your tomatillos, store them in a paper bag in the refrigerator. This will help prevent them from turning mushy or losing their tangy flavor.
- 3. For a quick and zesty dip, store your cilantro in a glass of water in the fridge. This will keep it fresh and vibrant, ready to be chopped and added to your dip.
