CREAMY SALSA VERDE
One of my new coworkers, Maria, brought me a zip-top bag of washed and prepped ingredients and told me to just throw it all in a blender. In a matter of seconds, this delicious salsa verde was born! The salsa gets its creaminess from the addition of avocado. For a mild salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from all 3 jalapenos; for extra spicy, leave them all in. I prefer to leave the seeds in only 1 jalapeno.

MEAN GREEN GUACAMOLE SALSA
This is a green salsa I learned while in Mexico. It is a green salsa with avocado and it is delicious! I always make it when we do carne asada. I am always begged for the recipe. Enjoy!
