California Avocado Salsa

This is probably my all time favorite thing to make with avocados. It makes fajitas absolutely heavenly and you can still eat it with chips. It makes a great topper for so many things: baked potatoes, grilled chicken or steak, as part of a salad, or whatever you want to try it with.

California Avocado Salsa
On Fajitas
* 3 large ripe avocados, peeled and cubed
* 3 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
* 1-1/2 cups chopped sweet red bell pepper
* 1 small onion, chopped
* 1 to 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped *See footnote*
* 3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro or parsley
* 1/4 cup lime juice

1. In a bowl, combine the ingredients and mix well. You can serve immediately or let them sit in the fridge to let the flavors blend. EASY!

*I have actually never used these but I just add a pinch or two red pepper flakes. If you use the jalapenos, be careful when cutting. Use rubber or plastic gloves to protect your hands and avoid touching your face. You could try a can of pre-cut jalapenos as well.

I also found that I posted this recipe with tips on shopping for avocados last year. You can read that post Here .
