CREAMY MEXICAN GREEN SALSA/DIP
FAST AND EASY to Make! This is a nutritious spread, and can be used as a dip for "Platanos Fritos" and vege sticks, "Fajitas", lacing sushi rolls, atop veggie burgers, or in any lettuce wrap. To reduce inflammatory responses we have taken out the tomatillos, but feel free to add them in if you are not following Anti-Infammatory dietary guidelines. This is the fastest Mexican Green Salsa recipe ever, it's raw, and keeps well for weeks in a good airtight glass container. Make a big batch if you and your family like it. Use a little more water for a thinner salsa, but slowly-the avocado gives it a nice texture lost with too much water... I usually use less than a cup of water to use as a dip for "Platanos Fritos", and lace my sushi with it. Add the WOW factor by sprinkling a little cayenne pepper on top when serving as a topping to veggie burgers or decorating sushi as you would spicy mayo.

Steps:
- Cut stem part off of chili serrano or jalapeno. If using tomatillos, peel off outer brown leaf like skin and stem. Trim tips of cilantro. I use frozen garlic to make this even a faster recipe, feel free to use fresh garlic.
- Pour in water to blender, add in cilantro and then rest of ingredients. We like garlic so I use 2 cloves -- you may want to start with one clove and taste before adding the second! Blend on high until smooth. DONE!
CREAMY MEXICAN SALSA
I don't recall the history of this salsa recipe. But it's one of those childhood moments in which I have specific memories of this spread or dip always being included on the buffet table at the parties my mom and dad hosted in our home. There was never any left, and everyone seemed to enjoy it. It's great with tortilla chips, dry crackers (especially a zesty herb cracker), fresh vegetables and deli snack breads.

Steps:
- 1. In a medium size bowl, stir together the sour cream, cheese and salsa until mixture is smooth. Gently fold in avocado until well blended.
- 2. Cover the bowl, and chill until ready to serve.
- 3. Serve with crisp tortilla chips, dry herbed crackers, fresh sliced vegetables, or an assortment of deli snack breads.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salsa will taste. If possible, use tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and jalapeƱos that are ripe and in season.
- Roast the tomatoes and peppers: Roasting the tomatoes and peppers before blending them gives the salsa a deeper, more complex flavor. You can roast the vegetables in the oven or on the grill.
- Don't over-blend the salsa: Over-blending the salsa will make it too smooth and watery. Pulse the ingredients in a food processor or blender just until they are combined and still have some texture.
- Add a little bit of acid: A little bit of acid, such as lime juice or vinegar, can help to brighten the flavors of the salsa. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Season to taste: Season the salsa with salt, pepper, and cumin to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder for a little bit of heat.
Conclusion:
Creamy Mexican salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is perfect for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and nachos. It can also be used as a dip for chips or vegetables. With its creamy, spicy, and tangy flavor, creamy Mexican salsa is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
