This Guacamole Salsa recipe combines salsa verde and guacamole to create an addicting appetizer and salsa for tacos! Is gluten free, dairy free, paleo and vegan!
If salsa verde and guacamole had a baby, you’d get this Guacamole Salsa. It’s the best of both worlds! The tangy and zesty flavor from the tomatillos and the smooth and creamy texture from the avocados – there’s seriously nothing better.
I’ve typically always used my Homemade Tomatillo Salsa Verde recipe as a sauce for enchiladas, meats and even as a base for soup, but when it came to eating it as a dip with chips, I always felt like there was something missing. Not anymore.
The solution? Avocados.
MY LATEST VIDEOS
Creamy, buttery avocados.
Not only do the avocados help thicken the guacamole salsa, but they also help counterbalance the tartness of the tomatillos and lime juice.
To make, all you need to do is boil the tomatillos and jalapenos for about 10 minutes, until they’ve softened. Once softened, throw them in a blender along with avocados, cilantro, garlic, onions, lime juice and salt. Blend until smooth and that’s it!
Pretty much one of the easiest and most flavorful dips you can make in 15 minutes.
What to eat with Guacamole Salsa
- with tortilla chips (and an ice cold beer)
- on toast (guacamole toast, anyone?!)
- on scrambled eggs
- on a burger
- on tacos (always)
- on nachos
- on a burrito bowl
- with quesadillas
I could seriously keep going for days… ?
This recipe makes about 2 1/2 to 3 cups of guacamole salsa, depending on the size of the tomatillos. Because avocados tend to brown quickly, I recommend storing any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to one week.

Love the dipping sauce!
Thanks, Jenny!
Love this recipe! I have one very similar that uses 1 less avocado and uses the jalapeno and tomatillo raw, rather than cooking them. We also use a little more lime. The result is a slightly less silky salsa with a bright fresh taste. Both are great and super simple!
That sounds like a great variation, Judy! Going to have to try yours 🙂
