Description
Fresh, chunky Avocado Salsa made with ripe avocados, Roma tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, lime, and cilantro. It has the creamy texture of guacamole with the freshness of pico de gallo, and it comes together in just 15 minutes with no cooking required.
Ingredients
- 6 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 1/2 red onion, chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped
- 4 avocados, peeled, pitted, and diced
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves
Instructions
Notes
Use ripe but still firm avocados so the salsa stays chunky rather than turning mushy.
Roma tomatoes work well because they are relatively sweet and not overly juicy.
Parsley can replace cilantro if preferred.
Lime juice helps slow avocado browning, but the salsa tastes best soon after preparation.
For storage, place leftovers in an airtight container with as little trapped air as possible.
The salsa has a fresh, chunky texture with a bright, zesty, mildly spicy, and creamy flavor.
For mango avocado salsa, replace some of the avocado and tomato with chopped mango.
For shrimp avocado salsa, add cooked, chopped shrimp.
For pineapple avocado salsa, mix in chopped pineapple.
Serve with tortilla chips or use it with tacos, wraps, bowls, lunch plates, grilled chicken, shrimp, steak, or fish.
