Notes
- Avocados: Use perfectly ripe avocados for the creamiest texture and best flavor. They should yield slightly when pressed but not feel mushy.
- Spice Level: This salsa is about a 3/10 on the spice scale as written. For less heat, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño, or use only half a pepper. For more spice, keep the seeds in or add an extra jalapeño or serrano pepper.
- Storage: To keep the salsa fresh and green, store it in an airtight container with a piece of plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent air exposure. Enjoy within 3 days.
- Balance the Flavors: Before serving, taste and adjust as needed. Add more lime juice for tanginess, salt to enhance the flavors, or extra jalapeño for a little more heat.
