Avocado Salsa Verde

Skip To RecipePrint Recipe

Avocado Salsa Verde is a fresh salsa recipe with creamy avocado, tomatillos, serrano pepper, and fresh cilantro and lime juice. It’s so easy you can make a batch in about 10 minutes!

I love this green salsa with all the Mexican-inspired things: scoop it up with tortilla chips, spoon it over tacos, roll it up in burritos, or add it as a topping for enchiladas. Lots of options with this one, friends.
