This is the salsa to make when you need
guacamole as a sauce to accompany other main dishes or to put on tacos. The addition of avocado makes this a smooth and creamy salsa that is not overly spicy. It's a great addition to fish and seafood dishes.

Ingredients for the green salsa
To a blender add all ingredients except the lime and salt. Add 1/4 cup water and blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl. Add lime juice and salt to taste.
Despite the presence of avocado (notorious for going brown), this salsa will keep covered in the refrigerator for a few days.
To mix it up a bit, blend in around 1/4 cup loosely-packed cilantro leaves.
