Avocado salsa

Avocado salsa is a delicious and healthy dip that can be used as a condiment or eaten on its own with chips. This vibrant green salsa combines creamy avocados with the zesty freshness of lime juice and the subtle bite of shallots, rounded off with fresh coriander leaves. It's an easy-to-make recipe that can elevate any meal or snack.

Ingredients:

2 avocados
400g
1 shallot
50g
2 tbsp lime juice
30g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1/4 cup coriander leaves
3.75g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Avocados:
- Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits.
- Scoop out the flesh from each avocado half and place it in a mixing bowl.
- Gently mash the avocados with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
2. Chop the Shallot:
- Peel the shallot and finely chop it.
- Add the chopped shallot to the bowl with the mashed avocados.
3. Add the Lime Juice:
- Pour 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice over the avocado and shallot mixture.
- Mix well to ensure the lime juice is evenly distributed. This not only adds flavor but also helps to keep the avocado from browning.
4. Incorporate the Olive Oil:
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the mixture.
- Stir until the olive oil is well combined with the other ingredients.
5. Chop and Add Coriander:
- Finely chop the fresh coriander leaves (cilantro).
- Add the chopped coriander to the bowl and gently fold it into the avocado mixture.
6. Season to Taste:
- Add salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Mix gently.
7. Serve:
- Your avocado salsa is now ready to serve! It's perfect as a dip with tortilla chips, a topping for tacos, or a side for grilled meats and vegetables.
8. Store:
- If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Consume within a day to maintain freshness and flavor. To help prevent browning, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the salsa before sealing the container.

Tips:

- Choose ripe avocados for the best texture and flavor. They should be slightly soft to the touch but not mushy.

- Finely chop the shallot to ensure it blends well with the creamy avocado.

- Adjust the lime juice to taste. If you prefer a tangier salsa, add a little more.

- For an extra kick, you can add finely chopped jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper.

- Serve the salsa immediately after preparing to maintain its fresh taste and vibrant color. If storing, cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to minimize browning.

In just a few simple steps, you've created a fresh and flavorful avocado salsa that can be enjoyed in various ways. Whether as a dip for chips, a topping for grilled meats, or a spread for sandwiches, this salsa is sure to add a burst of flavor to any dish. Enjoy your homemade avocado salsa!
