Serves 8 people

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 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup pistachios (you can sub other nuts - see notes)

Directions

  1. Pulse all ingredients – except pistachios – in a food processor until incorporated.

  2. Add pistachios 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.
