Lauren Heyn of Oak Creek, Wisconsin notes, "I've never tasted better guacamole than this. If there's time, I make homemade tortilla chips by frying 1-inch strips of flour tortillas in oil and salting them."

TANGY GREEN GUACAMOLE

Categories     appetizer

Time 10m

Yield Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 large ripe avocados, preferably the pebbly-skin Hass variety
1 cup Roasted Tomatillo Salsa
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus a few leaves, for garnish
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Remove the little nub of stem that is still usually lodged at the top of each avocado. Cut each avocado in half by slicing straight down through that spot where the stem was attached, until you reach the pit, then rotating the knife all the way around the pit. Twist the 2 halves apart, then scoop out the pits. With a spoon, scoop out the soft flesh from the skins, collecting it in a large bowl as you go. Coarsely mash with the spoon (or you can use an old-fashioned potato masher or large fork).
  • Gently stir the salsa into the avocado mixture, along with the cilantro. Taste and season with salt. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface and refrigerate until you're ready to serve. (Not only will the guacamole improve if made 1/2 hour or so before serving, but also it will maintain its fresh look longer if served cold.) Scoop into a decorative bowl, garnish with cilantro sprigs and you're ready to set it out for your guests to enjoy.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe avocados. Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color and slightly soft to the touch.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the avocados by hand. Just be sure to mash them until they are very smooth.
  • Add the salsa to the guacamole just before serving. This will help to prevent the salsa from watering down the guacamole.
  • Garnish the guacamole with your favorite toppings, such as chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, or crumbled cotija cheese.
  • Serve the guacamole with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetables for dipping.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Mean Green Guacamole Salsa is a delicious and easy appetizer or snack. It's perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a casual get-together. The guacamole is creamy and flavorful, and the salsa adds a nice kick of heat. Plus, it's a healthy snack that's packed with nutrients.
