Description
A fresh and vibrant avocado salsa perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 1 cup fresh tomatoes, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño or fresh chili, finely chopped (seeds removed for milder heat)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
Instructions
- Dice the ripe avocados into bite-sized chunks, finely chop the red onion, tomatoes, jalapeño (removing seeds if preferred milder), and cilantro to ensure even texture and flavor distribution.
- In a medium bowl, gently mix together the diced avocados, tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro, blending all the fresh components evenly without mashing the avocado.
- Pour in the fresh lime juice, sprinkle salt and pepper to taste, and add the minced garlic if using. Toss gently to coat all ingredients while maintaining the salsa’s chunky texture.
- Sample the salsa and adjust seasonings as desired—add more lime juice for brightness, salt for depth, or extra jalapeño to increase heat.
- Enjoy the Avocado Salsa fresh for best flavor and texture, or cover tightly and refrigerate briefly to let flavors meld, taking care to prevent browning.
Notes
- Keep the salsa covered to prevent browning of the avocados.
- This salsa can be served with tortilla chips or as a topping for grilled meats.
