I have a love for avocados. I could eat them morning, day and night if I had them available. I love ’em on eggs, with tortillas and queso fresco, on a tostada with cotija cheese and my new favorite avocado recipe – as the main ingredient in my mom’s Salsa de Aguacate (Avocado Salsa).

There aren’t many of my mom’s recipes that I can duplicate and know that it’s going to come out just like she makes it. This one, however, is a #NoFail recipe. I love the simplicity of the recipe and how easily it can be duplicated, multiplied, divided, etc.

First up are the ingredients: jalapeños, tomatillo, cilantro, salt, lemon (not pictured), water and avocado.

Chop up everything coarsely (except for the lemon), toss in the blender with a couple of tablespoons of water, season with lemon and salt and voila! You just made the easiest and tastiest avocado salsa.

This recipe is so easy I believe it should be a staple in everyone’s recipe book. You can whip it up right before you have guests coming over and it’ll keep in the fridge for at least a week.
