Does anyone have a recipe for a tomatillo-avacodo salsa?
I went to a mexican resteraunt that was close to my house and had the best salsa ever! If heaven exsisted, it was in that bowl tonight. All I know is that it had tomatillo's, avocado's, onions, and cilantro. I am guessing it had peppers too. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Recipe
1. Combine the following in a food processor or blender until uniform:
1 11 oz. can tomatillos
1 jalapeno, seeds removed
1 garlic clove
Handful of cilantro leaves (about 1/4 cup)
Squeeze of lime juice
2. Pour into bowl, and add:
1 ripe avocado, chopped
3. Salt and pepper to taste
4. Serve very soon. Step 1 may be completed well in advance, but avocado will brown.
Serving suggestions
Besides as an easy hors d'oeuvres dip with chips, this salsa pairs well with pork or chicken tacos, enchiladas, and tamales. Also try as a dip for cheese quesadillas or a topping for nachos.
The sweet-sour taste of tomatillos tones down both the fattiness and the spice of many rich and hot Mexican dishes. The acid in the salsa also makes it a perfect complement to fish, a nice change from the usual squeeze of lemon. Try serving with beer-battered fried fish. Alternately, spoon some tomatillo-avocado salsa over freshly grilled fish like mahi-mahi or even shrimp. You could even make tacos out of this winning grilled fish and salsa pair.
Pairings
Mexican food and beer is standard--and terrific. But if you are hosting a more elegant supper, with, say, seared tuna topped with tomatillo-avocado salsa, you might want to consider wine with dinner. For Mexican food, the first rule is to pair the wine with the sauce, not the meat or fish. If the sauce is as green as this one, featuring not only green chilis but also green tomatillos, avodados, and cilantro, white wine is the way to go. If the rest of the menu is spicy, think about a high-acid Gewurztraminer.
