Whilst on holiday in the Hawaiian Islands, I was craving Mexican food. Since there are hardly any Mexicans in the islands, there aren't any good taquerias around. For this craving, I wanted to be back in California just to have some authentic salsas.

To cure my craving, I headed over to one of the big chain grocery stores called "Safeway" to purchase a jar of salsa. As I perused the Latin food isle, I came across Herdez's Creamy Tomatillo Avocado salsa. Needless to say, my craving was cured and I was instantly addicted.

When I returned to California, my first mission was to replicate the salsa. I've read the ingredients on the jar and it seemed simple to make. Still, I needed a base recipe to follow and off I googled the recipe before driving over to the shops to get the necessary ingredients.

I found the Avocado Tomatillo Salsa from All Recipes. The reviews were so so, and one user said it was easy but it was lacking something. I figured, I might as well try it and purchased the required ingredients. Here, I'll go through over the recipe and also go over any tweeks and additions I made.
