I like love green dip. My friends can back me up on this one since they were there when I made myself physically ill a couple of birthdays ago from eating way too much of this stuff at a restaurant called El Tiempo. (Their dip is seriously fantastic and addictive...)
Since my experience at El Tiempo, I like to tell myself that I have developed a bit more self control as I've aged/matured (*snickers* yeah right...), BUT I haven't eaten myself into a food induced illness in a while. Coma yes, illness no.
I cooked dinner for my parents this past weekend and it was there that I put this green dip together. This stuff is mild enough to take to any party, and tasty enough that it's popular with everyone! :)
Yummy Green Dip
- 4 medium sized avocados
- 1/2 container of sour cream (about 8oz)
- 4 green tomatoes OR tomatillos
- 1/3-1/2 bunch of fresh cilantro
- 2-3 tsp. minced garlic
- Jalepenos, seeded (I ended up using 4 mild jalepenos)
- salt and pepper, to taste
Combine all ingredients other than the salt and pepper in an electric mixer or blender. Blend until creamy. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a garnish of fresh cilantro. We ate ours with tortilla chips but carrots/celery/cucumber would also pair well.
Happy eating! :)
