Welcome to the 5th installment to dip week! If you’re just joining us, then check out the deliciously cheesy, Bacon, Caramelized Onions and Swiss Dip, Herbed Feta Dip, Blood Orange Blackberry Sangria, and a lighter Veggie Taco Dip! All of these are perfect game day snacks and cocktails, and really just perfect for any get together! My favorite part about Football games is all the food!! Other than the Patriots, I don’t get into it to-to much.
I’ve made a very similar salsa to this before, but It needed some updated photos and Ive updated the recipe a tad, plus it is just to darn good to not bring back into the spotlight! Roasted Tomatillo and Avocado Salsa Verde! The tomatillo’s, onions, jalapenos, and garlic are roasted to a caramelized perfection and blended in with the avocados and spices to make it creamy and refreshing! If you like to kick things up a notch, sprinkle in some cayenne!
This roasted, creamy, salsa verde is a wonderful change up from regular salsa. Its light, its flavorful, and has many uses! We love it in tacos or burritos, as a dip with tortilla chips of course! This is an easy, fail-proof salsa that is sure to please!
