I love easy, simple recipes that showcase the main ingredient. That is what the recipe below is all about. It's easy, can be prepared in minutes and the outcome is subtle and delicious. Like the mango salsa, this recipe is very versatile and can be used in burritos, as a chunky guacamole dip or liberally sprinkled on cheesy nachos. I've also added the avocado salsa to my regular iceberg lettuce salad (just be sure to leave out the cilantro) for a fresh spin.
Enjoy!
Avocado Salsa
Some things I've learned along the way:
1. Once you've cut the avocado, be sure to drizzle with lime or lemon juice to keep it from browning. A little goes a long way..one teaspoon of lemon or lime juice is enough for one avocado.
2. When you use tomatoes for a non sauce recipe, such as in this recipe, be sure to remove the seeds. Doing so will prevent the salsa, dip, whatever from becoming too runny.
Ingredients:
-2 ripened avocados, diced
-1/2 roma tomato, de-seeded and diced
-Handful of Cilantro, roughly chopped
-Salt and black pepper, to taste
-2 teaspoons of lime juice
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and let stand for 10-15 minutes until the ingredients are well combined.
Ahhh - my favorite recipe thus far!! YUM!!! As you know, I'm in LOVE with guacamole and am always in search of the yummiest recipes for it :) Mucho gracias, chica!
