Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados you can swap these for mangoes if you're feeling fruity!
- 1 small red onion or use green onions for a milder taste
- 1-2 tomatoes cherry tomatoes work great too!
- 1 jalapeño optional, adjust based on your spice level
- Juice of 1 lime or lemon if that’s your jam
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro or parsley if you're not a cilantro fan
Instructions
- Avocado Prep: First things first, slice those avocados in half, remove the pit (carefully!), and scoop out the creamy goodness into a mixing bowl. Use a fork to lightly mash them—don’t go into smoothie mode; you want some chunks for texture!
- Chop and Dice: Next up, grab your red onion and chop it finely—don’t chop your fingers, though! Add it to the bowl after you’re done. Dice your tomatoes and jalapeño, if you’re using one, then toss them in as well. Chop up a handful of cilantro and add that flavor party in there!
- The Zesty Twist: Time for the best part: squeeze that lime juice all over your salsa. The acidity is going to make everything sing! Season with salt and pepper as desired. Give everything a gentle mix. Taste test—this is your moment! Need more lime? Go for it!
- Chill and Serve: Let your salsa chill for about 5 minutes to let the flavors really blend together. Serve it up with tortilla chips, on tacos, or atop grilled chicken for a fiesta of flavor!
