Instructions

Combine ingredients: In a medium bowl, gently combine the diced avocados, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeños, and salt.
Mix gently: Toss gently to combine all the ingredients. Be careful not to mash the avocados too much.
Taste and adjust: Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more lime juice, salt, or jalapeño for heat.
Serve: Serve immediately or chill for a short time before serving.

Notes

Avocado Ripeness: Use ripe but firm avocados. They should yield slightly to gentle pressure.
Lime Juice: Fresh lime juice is essential for the bright flavor of this salsa. Don't use bottled lime juice.
Jalapeños: Adjust the amount of jalapeños to your desired level of heat. You can also use other types of peppers, such as serrano peppers.
Onion: Red onion adds a nice color and flavor, but you can substitute with white or yellow onion if you prefer.
Additions: Feel free to add other ingredients to the salsa, such as diced tomatoes, corn, or minced garlic.
Storage: Avocado salsa is best served fresh. If you must store it, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the salsa to prevent browning and refrigerate for up to a day. However, it will taste best if made and served the same day.
