Salsa Fresca
Serves 1
Directions
- 1Peel the husks off the tomatillos, as blending them will result in a bitter flavor.
- 2Cut the stem off the jalape o. If you want it spicier, rub the jalape o to break its veins. Otherwise, simply cut it in half.
- 3Cut one clove of garlic.
- 4Peel and cut a piece of white onion.
- 5Cut the lime in half and squeeze its juice into the blender. This prevents the avocado from oxidizing and turning brown.
- 6Add a handful of cilantro, including both stems and leaves, into the blender.
- 7Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into the blender. Ensure the avocado stem is yellow-green and the skin is dark brown, not black.
- 8Add a little bit of kosher salt and water to the blender.
- 9Blend the ingredients, starting at a low speed, until creamy and fluffy.
