Lyrad's green sauce

this is vegan and yummy as a dip or sauce with chips, bread, on enchiladas, etc.

INGREDIENTS
1 avocado
1 cup packed parsley and cilantro leaves (combined)
1 jalapeƱo, ribs and seeds removed
2 cloves garlic
juice of one lime (or two - get lots of limey goodness in there!)
½ cup water
½ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup shelled pistachios

INSTRUCTIONS
Pulse all ingredients - except pistachios - in a food processor until incorporated.
Add pistachios and pulse until mostly smooth (depends on what 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.

NOTES
you can make this with other types of nuts like walnuts and almonds and it works just fine, but the taste wasn't as good IMHO. If you can find shelled pistachios, it's worth the splurge!
