Growing up in the Houston area, green salsa was a staple at every Mexican restaurant. There are many different versions, with some being more creamy and some more bright with lots of cilantro.
My Avocado Green Salsa reminds me of my home state the most. I experimented with so many different kinds before deciding that this one was perfect. It was a delicious experiment to say the least! My version is bright, tangy, creamy and bursting with flavor! It is a must-have accompaniment to my Enchiladas Verdes!
