Ph 713.995.5502
Ingredients:
2 avocados
2
jalapenos, seeded
2/3 cup
extra virgin oil
2 med. garlic cloves
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
3 tomatillos, cooked (green tomatoes)
1 1/2 cup water
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Place pepper and tomatillos in
covered pan with water. Simmer for 10
minutes. Place all other ingredients in
blender, adding the cooked pepper and tomatillos. Add 1 1/2 cup water. Place dressing in tight container and
refrigerate.
Tomatillos are a member
of the gooseberry family and should not be confused with green or unripe
tomatoes. Green tomatoes give a very similar flavor when substituted in
cooked dishes.
Americans and most Europeans
prefer an oily dressing, using about twice as much oil as vinegar. However,
Mexicans enjoy a stronger vinegar taste in their dressings. They also
frequently add a bit of citrus juice, such as lime to their dressing to give
it an added zing.
