Tomatillo-Avocado Dip

I eat a TON of veggies.  My staples are cucumbers, tomatoes, broccoli, beets, and bell peppers (lots of bell peppers lately!!)  While I love to cook with them, most days I also eat them raw.  They’re a perfect snack in-between calls.  Confession:  I love them even more with dip.

I love ranch dip with low fat sour cream, italian dressing mix in low fat yogurt, salsas… there’s really not many dips I don’t enjoy.  When I spotted this recipe for a tomatillo-avocado dip, I knew I’d fall in love with it.  Yep, I was right.
