Tips & Tricks

This recipe only has a few ingredients, so be sure to choose the freshest ingredients available and don't skip any.
Ditch the bottled lime juice and use fresh. It makes a big difference.
If your avocado is extra large or the salsa is a bit too thick, add more water 1 tablespoon at a time until it is the desired consistency.
If you like spicy foods, leave some jalapeno seeds for more spice.

Storage

Avocado green salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Give it a good stir before using, and add a bit of fresh lime juice if you want to freshen it up.
