When you can add avocados to your salsa, it’s no longer just tomato salsa. This Avocado Salsa is incredibly tasty and simple to make.
To make this dish, chop tomatoes, avocados, red onions, cilantro, jalapeos, and garlic, then combine them with fresh lime juice and oil to make a chip dip that no one can resist! There are only a few ingredients, but you get a lot of fresh flavor.
Fresh Avocado Salsa
Guacamole meets salsa in this dish. The flavors of fresh avocado salsa are comparable to guacamole, but the texture is more like chunky salsa.
It’s great as a tortilla chip dip, but you can also use it to top salmon or chicken, or layer it thickly over taco salad or lettuce wraps. It’d also be delicious in a tortilla soup!
To put it another way, you must try this chunky salsa recipe. It’s full of taste, creamy, hearty, and versatile. Definitely a go-to homemade avocado salsa recipe!
To give you an idea of how much I enjoyed this avocado salsa, let’s just say it destroyed my supper plans for the day. I made chicken tacos, but I sat down to eat them before supper and ate so much that I wasn’t even hungry for dinner.
Oh well, it was well worth the effort! I started eating it with chips, but it was so amazing that I stopped eating it with chips and just ate it by the spoonful. And I don’t feel bad about it because the recipe has so many nutritious elements.
Ingredients that are both fresh and nutrient-dense. This is going to be fantastic!
With all of the summer cookouts, this is a terrific salsa recipe to have on hand. It will undoubtedly be the first to go! We all adore avocados for their ultra-creamy, silky smooth texture and delectable flavor.
Does This Avocado Salsa Keep Well as Leftovers?
If stored in an airtight container, this fresh salsa will keep for a few days in the fridge. The best tomatoes will release more juice as time goes on, and the avocado will begin to brown. But it’ll be fine to eat!
Can I Add More Vegetables to This Salsa?
Yes, of course! Another fantastic vegetable to add to this avocado salsa is grilled corn. You can add any other ingredients you choose, but the amount of dressing you use in this salsa may need to be adjusted.
Tips for the Best Homemade Salsa
- If you aren’t a fan of spicy foods, you can definitely omit the jalapeños. And if you like it spicier you can leave in the seeds or even use hotter peppers like serrano or habanero.
- Seeding the tomatoes is very important, otherwise a lot of liquid collects at the bottom of the bowl.
- This homemade salsa is best fresh, so I don’t recommend making this in advance if you have guests coming over.
