There are a handful of ingredients that never get old to my taste buds. I could literally eat them everyday, all day, and you will never hear me complain. Tomatillos, avocados, hatch chiles, red onion, garlic, and cilantro are all ingredients that make me dance with excitement and I cannot go a full day without having at least one if not all of them.

Last week when all of my favorite ingredients came in the same CSA delivery I couldn’t resist; I had to make a big batch of roasted hatch chile and tomatillo salsa! This time though I decided to add avocado to the mix which imparts an amazing creaminess to the salsa verde that I just love. This recipe is easy to make, fast to whip up, and totally addictive.
