Gluten Free Magic Green Sauce

This is a great dipping sauce. I served it on Tostones and Bacalitos and Grilled Shrimp.

Ingredients

• 1 avocado
• 1 cup packed parsley and cilantro leaves (combined)
• 1 jalapeño, ribs and seeds removed
• 2 cloves garlic
• juice of one lime (or two – get lots of limey goodness in there!)
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup pistachios or walnuts

Steps

1. Pulse all ingredients – except nuts – in a food processor until incorporated.
2. Add nuts and pulse until mostly smooth (depends on what consistency you want).
3. Serve as a dip, spread, or sauce — or add additional water or oil to thin the sauce for use as a dressing or a marinade.

Conclusion

I made this the first time without the parsley and with hazelnuts instead of pistachios / walnuts and it was simply delightful. Recommended.
