Tart tomatillos keep this dip a bright green and prevent the avocado from discoloring, even after a day or two in the refrigerator. Look for tomatillos in the produce section of most large supermarkets.
Just a mild tangy flavor is there. I'm going to try and freeze some for later, as recommended by a previous reviewer. Thought it needed extra salt (probably at least double). I probably also went a little heavy on cilantro. Was good with tortilla chips.
I've made this many times since it was first published, and it's become my go-to potluck recipe. It can sit out on the buffet for quite a while and still look look appealing. I usually make a double batch and freeze half... perfect one-two punch for New Year's Eve and then the Superbowl!
This was amazing. I made it for our Superbowl party and it was a huge hit. I was a little wary of making it too far in advance as I was afraid the avocados would start to discolor. But just as the note said, the tomatillos kept that from happening and the dip remained a beautiful green the whole time. I will absolutely make this again and again!
This was really good! I don't know if the pita chips were worth the effort, though, since this dip was just as good with blue corn tortilla chips. I will add more cilantro next time. And there will definitely be another time!
I have made this several times and it is always amazing.
Fantastic combination of flavors. Love the tang of the tomatillos. I used low-fat sour cream and added a clove of minced garlic and a little lime juice. Delicious!
Fresh, extremely tasty dip. I added chopped up roasted red pepper and banana pepper and it was yummy! I am allergic to dairy so I left out the sour cream and it was still delicious.
This is delicious! I may have added more cilantro and jalapeno than it called for, but it came out great! Tangy, light, and refreshing
this dip is so easy, fresh, and a good break from the norm, without being too wild for picky eaters! it stays a perfect shade of green for several days in the fridge, and the recipe makes enough for a crowd. i love it!
I found it pretty dull. I added lime juice to make it edible. I would've given in a lower rating but it was very cool that it didn't turn brown in the fridge! Maybe I'll throw tomatillos in my guacomole from now on. My tomatillos had a lot of water in them so I squeezed them a bit before adding them to the dip. Are you supposed to deseed them first and just add the meat or toss all the juices in?
Love this with homemade tortilla chips!! We use this in place of guacamole every time we have Mexican food. Great on enchiladas and to dip chicken & cheese quesadillas in. I make this as an afterschool snack served with wheat thins or ritz crackers.
I made the dip and the chips and both were great. Dip has slight tang from the tomatillos. Dip went alot farther than the chips, but stayed nice and bright for a few days. Good after-work snack!
