5 minute magic green sauce

Pinch of Yum
 dressing, sauce, spread, dip, marinade for chicken, from salads to quesadillas to just straight up chips and crackers

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!)
• ½ cup water
• ½ cup olive oil
   Coupons
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ cup pistachios (you can sub other nuts - see notes)
• INSTRUCTIONS

  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.
  NOTES

  From origianl post on pinch of yum- I did make this with other types of nuts like walnuts and almonds and it worked just fine, but the taste wasn't as good IMHO. If you can find shelled pistachios, it's worth the splurge!
