If you’re looking for a summer snack that won’t disappoint, look no further! This salsa is quick and easy and makes a nice size batch to feed you and all your friends at the pool parties. Or beach parties. Whatever floats your boat.
Roasted tomatillos bring a nice brightness to the salsa and avocado keeps it nice and smooth, but not overly creamy or fatty. Bonus – because of the acid in the lime and tomatillos, the avocado doesn’t brown quickly like it does with guacamole. You can keep in the refrigerator for 4 or 5 days and it will still be nice and bright green!
