Magic Green Sauce

1 avocado

1 cup packed parsley and cilantro leaves (combined)

1 jalapeño, ribs and seeds removed

2 cloves garlic

Juice of one lime

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup pistachios (or almonds)

Pulse all ingredients ­ except pistachios ­ in a food processor until incorporated.  Then add pistachios and pulse until mostly smooth, or at whatever consistency you want.

Serve as a dip, spread, or sauce ­­ or add additional water or oil to thin the sauce for use as a dressing or a marinade.

Makes about 2 cups.
