Green Tomatillo and Avocado Dip
published by giftarist on Jul 4, 2010
Tomatillos are small vegetables that look similar to green tomatoes in a paper-like shell. Do not use green tomatoes as a substitute in this recipe, however. This recipe appears to be high in fat; all of the ingredients are very low in calories except for the avocado.

I am allergic to avocados unfortunately. Haven’t always been and in fact I had a lemon tree and a huge avocado tree in my backyard growing up that I ate from on the regular
Maybe that is what got me. I ate too much guacamole and peppered avocado for my body to take.
It sounds delicious though bro.

This would taste better if the tomatillos were roasted first. That’s more traditional in the Southwest than boiling them.

(Tomatillos are small vegetables that look similar to green tomatoes in a paper-like shell) These sound similar to what I always thought were very strange ‘berries’ that grew on a bush in our front yard in South Africa…now I find out they’re Tomatillos..go figure, I guess one is never too old to learn something new
The recipe looks inviting. Thanks for sharing.
