Why You Should Make This Recipe
- Quick and easy to make, this avocado salsa uses a handful of fresh ingredients and is literally ready in minutes like my pineapple salsa.
- It adds a ton of flavor to many dishes like tacos, burritos and bowls, and is a fun way to combine salsa and guacamole. Fresh and creamy.
Key Ingredients and Variations
- Roma tomatoes: very flavorful without being too watery.
- Avocado: use a ripe but still firm avocado, so it holds its shape and doesn't get mushy in the salsa.
- Red onion: white onion works great too.
- Cilantro: to add some freshness.
- Lime: use fresh lime, it adds the needed acidity, keeps the avocado green longer, and brings all the flavors together.
- Jalapeño: brings flavor and spice. Keep the seeds and membranes for a spicier pico de gallo or remove them if you prefer it mild. You can also add other peppers like serrano which is hotter.
- Salt and pepper: needed to accentuate all the flavors. Adjust to taste.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's definitely best freshly made, as you might know it's tough to keep open avocado fresh and green, but because this recipe has lime, if you cover it with plastic wrap directly touching the salsa, it should last an extra day in the fridge.
