Helpful Tips
For beginners, here’s a tip: to easily dice your avocados, cut them in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh while still in the skin before scooping it out with a spoon. This method keeps the avocado pieces evenly sized. If you prefer a spicier salsa, leave in some of the jalapeño seeds or add an extra pepper. You can also add a finely chopped bell pepper for extra crunch and color.
Storage Instructions
To keep your avocado salsa fresh, cover it with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface to minimize the contact with air and prevent browning. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep in mind, the salsa is best enjoyed fresh.
Suggested Pairings
This avocado salsa pairs wonderfully with tortilla chips, grilled chicken, or fish tacos. For a complete meal, serve it alongside a refreshing glass of iced lemonade or a light, crisp white wine.
