Avocado and Herb Green Salsa Recipe

In summer, I’m a fan of this Avocado and Herb Green Salsa because it’s the kind of recipe that’s easy to make, full of freshness and can be used in many other recipes: on aperitif toast, in a burger, with pasta, as a dip….

All you need is an avocado base, all the herbs you can get your hands on, a squeeze of lemon, a blender and you’re ready to go!

For the realization, I was inspired by one of my favorite books, Simple from Ottolenghi! It’s a book full of easy and quick ideas to prepare, especially during the summer season. I love this book.

By the way, speaking of reusing this avocado sauce in another recipe, keep an eye out for future posts because I’ll be sharing an idea soon…In the meantime, I’ll let you discover this delicious green salsa. 😉
