Salsa Verde


So I love me some Mexican Salsa! Actually I love anything Mexican 😊 I made this salsa verde 2 different ways.  I made it the traditional way and then I made it again adding avocados.  They are both good so it's just a matter of preference.  The salsa without the avocado is zero points.  The salsa with the avocado is one point. That's assuming you eat 1/4 cup.



This is a pic of the salsa with the avocado.
