Ingredients To Make Avocado Salsa
Tomato — I like to use Roma tomatoes with the seeds removed.
Red onion — For crunch and a pop of color.
Jalapeños — You can remove the seeds or leave them in for extra heat.
Avocado (pit removed) — I look for avocados that are just ripe, but not mushy. They should hold their shape when you mix everything.
Lime — I always use fresh lime juice over bottled. It makes such a significant impact! You can also use lemon juice if you prefer.
Olive oil — I recommend using quality olive oil with a good flavor.
Cilantro — I love fresh cilantro! If you’re not a fan, you can use fresh parsley instead.
Salt — To bring all the flavors together.
Tortilla chips — Serve with your favorite tortilla chips.
Instructions To Make this Salsa
Start by dicing the tomatoes, avocados, red onion, and jalapeños.
Then, chop the cilantro and juice the limes.
Add avocados and everything in a large bowl and add the olive oil.
Stir well to combine and add salt to taste.
Serve your homemade salsa with gluten free tortilla chips and enjoy! This chip dip will be hard to resist especially during summer time and game day!
Olivia’s Recipe Tips
- Remember to remove the seed of the tomatoes to remove excess moisture. This will keep the avocado salsa nice and fresh.
- I like to dice the avocados into bite-sized pieces, so they keep their shape. If you dice them too small, they can mash up when you mix everything in.
- Don’t use too ripe avocado, otherwise your salsa will be mushy.
- If you’re a fan of garlic, you can add one or two cloves of garlic in there.
- Peel the avocado by scooping out the flesh with a spoon.
How To Store Leftovers
My family finishes this salsa in about 10 minutes! But if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 1 to 2 days.
I typically press a layer of plastic wrap over the salsa to keep it from turning brown. A squeeze of lemon or lime juice on top will also help!
What To Serve with Avocado Salsa
Tacos: I love to load up carne asada tacos and taco salad with avocado salsa.
Seafood: The flavors in this recipe are perfect with air fryer cod or grilled shrimp.
Other ideas: This salsa is also great with grilled chicken and rice, taco stuffed sweet potatoes, chicken enchiladas, burrito bowls, nachos or chimichurri chicken chopped salad.
Recipe Variations
Beans: To make this recipe a little heartier, I like to toss in some black beans or chickpeas.
Fruit: This recipe is also SO good with fresh fruit. You can make mango salsa or pineapple salsa.
Veggies: Feel free to add even more veggies, like grilled corn, bell peppers, or seeded cucumbers.
Frequently Asked Questions
If your avocados aren’t quite ready, try the paper bag trick. Put the avocados in a paper bag with an apple, then seal it and leave it on your counter for about a day. If you have more time, you can also let them ripen in your fruit bowl until they’re good to go.
Serve this recipe fresh because the avocados will oxidize (turn brown) over time. To save time, you can chop the other ingredients and keep them in the fridge for a day or so. Then, dice them and toss everything together when you’re ready!
You can add acidic ingredients like lime or lemon juice, and store it in an airtight container with the avocado pit or cover the surface with plastic wrap.
