Tips for Perfect Salsa

1. Cut the avocado and tomato in uniform size – 1/4-inch cubes is the ideal size for a chunky salsa like this.
2. Use fresh cilantro and lime – these two ingredients are the major flavor boosters in this salsa so for best results, we recommend using as fresh as possible.
3. Avoid storing salsa too long – we recommend not storing salsa longer for 2 days otherwise the avocado tends to turn a little brown.

Recipe Variations
