Avocado Salsa Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 1 cup Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (adjust for spice)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all the fresh ingredients on the counter for easy access before starting to prepare the salsa.
- Chop Ingredients: Dice the avocados, Roma tomatoes, finely chop the red onion and cilantro, and mince the jalapeño after removing the seeds to control the heat level.
- Combine Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, gently combine the diced avocados, tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro to mix the flavors evenly without mashing the avocado.
- Add Lime Juice and Salt: Squeeze the fresh lime juice over the salsa mixture and sprinkle with salt to taste; gently stir to coat all ingredients with the citrus and seasoning.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the salsa and adjust the salt or jalapeño level if needed to suit your preference.
- Serve: Serve the avocado salsa immediately as a flavorful dip with tortilla chips or as a fresh topping for tacos and other Mexican dishes.
Notes
- For a milder salsa, remove all jalapeño seeds and membranes before mincing.
- Use ripe but firm avocados to maintain texture and avoid mushiness.
- This salsa is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day; lime juice helps reduce browning.
- Optional additions include diced red bell pepper or a pinch of cumin for extra flavor.
- Pair with grilled meats or as a topping for fajitas for additional serving ideas.
