Avocado Chimichurri

By AzWench

Chimichurri – a South American condiment – is traditionally a combination of olive oil, vinegar, parsley, garlic salt and peppers. It has become the trendy sauce on many restaurant menus and home cooks are discovering how much zip it can add to steaks, seafood or poultry, or as a fantastic sandwich spread. This Latin American fusion version features Chilean Hass Avocados, which add rich flavor and creamy texture.

Ingredients

• 1 large Chilean Hass Avocado
• 1/4 cup Cider or other Vinegar
• 1 cup Fresh Parsley, Italian Parsley, Cilantro or Basil, finely chopped
• 1 to 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1 Jalapeño Pepper, seeded and finely chopped, or several dashes Hot Pepper Sauce

Preparation

Step 1

Cut avocado in half, remove pit, and peel. Spoon out flesh into a medium bowl. Mash with a fork. Stir in all remaining ingredients.
