If you need a tasty dip and you like the flavors of avocado and tomatillos, you will want to try this! I’ll be making this again, only I think next time I might roast the tomatillos first for a different flavor. This is perfect with your favorite tortilla chips or on top of a big calorie laden pile of nachos. ;-)

This is a quick recipe that requires minimal chopping, your food processor does all the work for you. I found this in the cookbook 650 Best Food Processor Recipes by George Geary and Judith Finlayson.
Sorry for the not so stellar photos. I was literally making it then serving it to guests at a barbecue and had zero time for staging!
