Notes

  • To add extra bulk to the recipe you can add black beans, black eyed peas or pinto beans. Just make sure to drain and rinse the beans before adding them to the salsa.
  • Serve this salsa immediately at room temperature with lots of chips or as a garnish for one of the many recipes listed below. It adds such a beautiful color and texture to any Mexican dish.
  • Because the avocados can brown quickly, this salsa is best served fresh, but you can refrigerate any leftovers for a day or so. The flavors blend together over time and make it even more delicious! You may want to add fresh avocado if serving leftovers.
