Tapas: Tomatillo Guacamole

By á-3151

Vegan and Gluten Free. Tomatillos’ unique, tart flavor combines well with avocados, cilantro, and lime juice in this variation of the well-loved Mexican dip. Serve with chips or, for better nutrition, jicama sticks, which increase the vitamin C and banish bad fats in one move. Jicama also has a very satisfying, juicy crunch.

Ingredients

• 4 large tomatillos (skin removed, washed)
• 2-3 ripe avocados (peeled and pitted)
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 small red or white onion (finely diced)
• 2 serrano chile peppers (seeded and finely diced or minced)
• 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
