2 (7 ounce) cans green tomatillo salsa (or can use just 1 can)
1 large avocado, peeled and cut in chunks
1 pickled jalapeno pepper, finely chopped (or use a fresh jalapeno)
1 teaspoon pickled jalapeno juice (optional)
1 fresh garlic clove, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 tablespoon garlic salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon sugar (for tomatillos acidity)
1/2 cup water (if needed)
FOR CREAMY SALSA
1/2 cup light sour cream (instead of the water)

1
Pour green tomatillo salsa in a saucer and cook in the microwave for about 30 seconds in high power, only to cook the green tomatillos.
2
In a blender, pour the cooked green salsa and avocado chunks. Blend them together just to pulse the bottom for about 8 to 10 seconds, leaving some coarse avocado pieces, so the salsa doesn't get too smooth.
3
Note: if want the sauce more liquid and smoth, just add some water in the blender, (or the sour cream for a creamy salsa if you prefer).
4
Pour in the saucer again and add the chopped pickled jalapeno, vinegar, chopped garlic clove and cilantro. Season with garlic salt to taste. Stir well.
5
Serve as a dipping sauce for grilled burgers, hot dogs, or over grilled chicken, steaks, pork or fish.
6
Or also in tacos, burritos, rice, refried beans, tostadas, tortilla chips or whatever you like. Mmmmm -- delicious.!
7
Note: it keeps green color all the time it lasts.
