Salsa Verde Cruda

This is a refreshing late summer salsa. It’s raw, so the flavors really pop and the verdant color holds.

Makes 2 cups

INGREDIENTS

1 pound tomatillos, husked, washed, and roughly chopped

3 scallions, roughly chopped

1 bunch cilantro, stems and leaves

1 garlic clove

1 jalapeno, seeded

½ of an avocado

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

METHOD

Chop. You only need to chop the tomatillos (and other vegetables) small enough to blend easily.

Blend. Taste for salt and adjust.
