If you’re looking for a fresh, hearty and delicious dip that’s easy to make and perfect for any occasion, you need to try this homemade avocado salsa recipe. It’s like a cross between guacamole and pico de gallo, with creamy avocados, juicy tomatoes, crunchy onions, spicy jalapeños and tangy lime juice. It’s a crowd-pleaser that will disappear in no time!
I made this salsa last weekend for a family barbecue and it was a huge hit. Everyone loved the flavor and texture of the salsa and asked me for the recipe. I was happy to share it with them because it’s so simple and quick to make. All you need are six basic ingredients and 20 minutes of your time.
The first step is to prepare the ingredients. You need to wash, peel, chop and dice the avocados, tomatoes, onion, cilantro and jalapeño. I recommend using ripe avocados that are soft but not mushy. You can also adjust the amount of jalapeño according to your spice tolerance. I used one medium jalapeño with seeds removed and it was just right for me.
The second step is to make the dressing. You need to whisk together olive oil, lime juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl. This will add some zing and flavor to the salsa. You can also add some ground coriander for a hint of spice if you like.
The third step is to combine the salsa ingredients. You need to toss together the avocado, tomato, onion, cilantro and jalapeño in a large bowl. Then pour the dressing over the mixture and gently stir to coat everything well. Be careful not to mash the avocado too much as you want to keep some chunks for texture.
The final step is to serve or refrigerate the salsa. You can either serve it immediately or refrigerate it for later. The salsa will keep well in an airtight container for up to two days in the fridge. You can enjoy it as a dip with tortilla chips or crackers, or as a topping for tacos, burritos, salads or grilled meats.
This homemade avocado salsa recipe is one of my favorites because it’s fresh, hearty and delicious. It’s also easy to make and perfect for any occasion. It’s a great way to use up ripe avocados and enjoy their health benefits. Avocados are rich in healthy fats, fiber, potassium and vitamin K.
