If you’re not familiar with Mexican salsa de aguacate, literally “avocado salsa,” think of it as the lovechild of creamy guacamole and tangy green salsa. That tang comes from tomatillos, a tart fruit that looks like a small green tomato, but is actually part of the gooseberry family. Be sure to remove the tomatillo’s husk and rinse off the sticky coating before cooking with it. Roasting them gives their tartness a charred earthy flavor. For some heat, feel free to add a jalapeno to the pan before broiling the rest of the ingredients. Serve this dip with your favourite fresh vegetables for dipping or spoon it over grilled chicken and quesadillas.
