Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Avocado Salsa
  1. Start by dicing two to three Roma tomatoes, ensuring you remove the seeds for a fresher salsa. Then, finely chop half a red onion and one jalapeño, adjusting the spice level by removing the seeds if desired. Set the diced ingredients aside in a medium-sized bowl.
  2. Next, take two ripe avocados and carefully slice them in half. Remove the pit and scoop the green flesh into a separate bowl. Dice the avocados into chunks, ensuring some texture remains for that perfect chunky avocado salsa.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add the diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, jalapeño, and the diced avocados. Squeeze the juice of one to two limes over the mixture, allowing the fresh citrus to lift the flavors. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and toss in roughly chopped cilantro leaves.
  4. Using a spatula, gently fold all the ingredients together to achieve a well-combined salsa, being careful not to mash the avocados.
  5. Now it’s time to give your avocado salsa a taste! Check for seasoning and freshness, adding more salt or lime juice if needed.
  6. Serve your delicious avocado salsa right away for the best flavor and freshness. Pair it with crispy tortilla chips for a satisfying dip or use it as a topping on grilled meats or tacos.
