CREAMY MEXICAN GREEN SALSA/DIP
FAST AND EASY to Make! This is a nutritious spread, and can be used as a dip for "Platanos Fritos" and vege sticks, "Fajitas", lacing sushi rolls, atop veggie burgers, or in any lettuce wrap. To reduce inflammatory responses we have taken out the tomatillos, but feel free to add them in if you are not following Anti-Infammatory dietary guidelines. This is the fastest Mexican Green Salsa recipe ever, it's raw, and keeps well for weeks in a good airtight glass container. Make a big batch if you and your family like it. Use a little more water for a thinner salsa, but slowly-the avocado gives it a nice texture lost with too much water... I usually use less than a cup of water to use as a dip for "Platanos Fritos", and lace my sushi with it. Add the WOW factor by sprinkling a little cayenne pepper on top when serving as a topping to veggie burgers or decorating sushi as you would spicy mayo.

Steps:
- Cut stem part off of chili serrano or jalapeno. If using tomatillos, peel off outer brown leaf like skin and stem. Trim tips of cilantro. I use frozen garlic to make this even a faster recipe, feel free to use fresh garlic.
- Pour in water to blender, add in cilantro and then rest of ingredients. We like garlic so I use 2 cloves -- you may want to start with one clove and taste before adding the second! Blend on high until smooth. DONE!
SALSA, CREAM CHEESE, SHRIMP, MEXICAN CHEESE DIP
This recipe is so good there is none left after any event. I made some of this today to take for "treat night" at work. There wasn't any left to bring home. Unfortunately, no one ate any of the other "treats"...

Steps:
- 1. Lay each cream cheese block side by side in a sealable dish. Defrost shrimp by placing in a colandar and running cool water over them till they are nearly thawed all the way through. Drain then spread over the cream cheese blocks. Spoon the salsa over the top till completely covered. Sprinkle the shreded cheese over the top of all the other ingredients, cover and keep chilled till ready to serve.
- 2. Serve on waverly cracker, ritz, or even tortilla chips. Some people like to use Pace Picante sauce, but I prefer fresh salsa, and nearly everyone that eats this treat loves it that way too.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salsa will taste. If possible, use tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and peppers that are in season.
- Chop the ingredients evenly: This will help the salsa to have a consistent texture.
- Don't over-process the salsa: A few pulses in a food processor or blender is all that is needed to combine the ingredients. Over-processing will make the salsa too smooth.
- Taste the salsa and adjust the seasonings: Add more salt, pepper, or lime juice to taste. You can also add other ingredients, such as chopped avocado, corn, or black beans, to customize the salsa to your liking.
- Let the salsa chill for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Conclusion:
With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can make a delicious homemade salsa that is perfect for dipping, topping, or spreading. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful snack or condiment, reach for a bowl of salsa. Your taste buds will thank you!
