Chunky Avocado Salsa Ingredients and Substitutions
- Tomato – You can use any kind of tomato you want in this recipe. I used Roma tomatoes because that’s what I had on hand today but I’ve also made this recipe using vine ripe tomatoes and cherry tomatoes.
- Onion – I used white onion because I love the crunch and mild flavor it has. I usually use white onion in my salsa recipes. Any color onion will work though!
- Cilantro – I know that some people really don’t like cilantro but I love it and use lots of it! If you really don’t like cilantro you could sub parsley, mint or another fresh herb that you prefer.
- Avocado – The avocado is the star of this Chunky Avocado Salsa recipe so don’t leave it out! I can almost always find ripe avocados at the grocery store, no matter what time of year it is so hopefully you can too!
- Garlic – I like to use fresh garlic, rather than the pre-minced garlic you can buy in a jar. You can use however much or little garlic you prefer. I used about 3 cloves.
- Jalapeno – Jalapeno is totally optional and can be left out if you don’t like things spicy. I just used a little bit of jalapeño but you can put however much in as you want. Serrano pepper could also be used.
- Lime Juice – I like to use fresh lime juice rather than the bottled lime juice they sell at the grocery store.
- Cumin and Paprika – Cumin and paprika add such a nice flavor that I love with avocado.
- Salt – To taste
How To Make The Best Avocado Salsa
You only need about 10 minutes to make this tasty recipe!
- Start by chopping all of your ingredients. I like to remove the watery seeds inside the tomato so that the salsa doesn’t get too liquidy.
- Add the chopped tomato, onion, cilantro, garlic and jalapeno to a large bowl and mix until combined.
- Cut your avocados in half, remove the pit and then peel off the outside skin. Dice the avocado into bite size pieces and add to the bowl.
- Next, add the lime juice, cumin, paprika and salt. Mix everything together, taste and adjust the spices if needed. Enjoy!
