Avocado Salsa Ingredients
- 3 avocados (peeled, pitted and diced)
- 4 small-medium tomatoes (diced)
- 1 red onion (finely chopped)
- 1 bunch cilantro (chopped)
- 2 jalapeños (de-seeded if desired, finely chopped)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- Salt & pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Add diced avocados, diced tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, and finely chopped jalapeños to a medium-large mixing bowl.
- Make the dressing: In a small jar or measuring jug, combine olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Shake or whisk well to blend the dressing.
- Toss and combine: Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture in the bowl. Carefully stir to toss everything together, ensuring the salsa is evenly coated with the dressing.
- Serve: Serve the chunky avocado salsa immediately for the freshest flavor and best texture, pairing it with your favorite chips, tacos, or grilled dishes.
Notes
- For less heat, remove the seeds from the jalapeños completely before chopping.
- Use ripe but firm avocados to maintain a chunky texture and prevent mushiness.
- This salsa is best served fresh as avocado can brown when exposed to air; if needed, cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
- Adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice according to taste.
- To make it spicier, keep jalapeño seeds or add extra jalapeños.
