How to Make Avocado Cilantro Salsa
- Halve and pit a ripe avocado. Scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (adjust to your spice preference), 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (or more, to taste), and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. You may need to add a tablespoon or two of water to achieve desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more lime juice, salt, or Tabasco for extra zing.
- If not serving immediately, cover the salsa with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent browning. Refrigerate for up to 2 days.
- Serve with your favorite tortilla chips, grilled fish, tacos, or as a topping for your favorite dishes!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
