Why is Avocado Salsa the BEST?
I LOVE using fresh ingredients to make delicious salsa! When you bite into it, you get a mix of a crisp texture from the tortilla chips, plus the delightful flavor from all of the ingredients as they blend together. It’s the perfect marriage of flavors! Plus, adding avocado into any recipe is just a no-brainer… It makes everything that much better!
Not only are these ingredients all fresh, but you add in the juice from a lime, and it brings out the best and bright flavor in this avocado salsa! Don’t settle for plain salsa when you can make this one! Once you make this, it will be a salsa that you can’t resist. Make it for game-day, Taco Tuesday, or just once a week for kicks like I do! It’s so simple and easy. You have no reason not to make this all the time!

How to Pick Out an Avocado
If you want ANY avocado recipe to turn out right, including this avocado salsa, then you must start with an avocado that is ripe but not too ripe, soft but not too soft… It sounds complicated, but it’s not!! Here are a few tips for you to try next time you are grabbing avocados at the grocery store.
- Color: a ripe avocado will be a little bit darker green color.
- Soft or Firm: If you can push the side of an avocado in and it slightly dents, then it’s ripe! Anything that’s really hard means that it’s not ready yet (get these if you don’t plan on cooking with your avocados for a few days). If you find that an avocado is super soft and quishy then it is overripe and you don’t want it.
- Texture: Ripe avocados will have abumpy texture on their skin.
How Long Does Avocado Salsa Last?
As long as you store your avocado salsa in the fridge in an airtight container, then it will stay fresh for 3-4 days. The avocados will start to get brown but they will taste fine!
