What can I serve Salsa de Aguacate with?
Salsa de Aguacate can be used straight away as a fresh dip to serve with tortilla chips. It is also a great topping for so many tacos, Steak Tacos, Pork Carnitas, Tacos Al Pastor and Beef Tostadas.
Variations
The beauty of this recipe is that it is so flavorful yet so simple, here are a few ideas for how you could modify it for your own personal taste:
- Spicy - Increase the spice level by adding a whole Jalapeño instead of just half!
- Milder - If you're just wanting a fresh avocado salsa that doesn't have a kick of spice then leave out the jalapeño.
- Garlic - If you're not a fan of raw garlic in your dips, swap it out for one green onion (spring onion).
Equipment
All you will need to make your Salsa de Aguacate is either a food processor or a blender. I prefer to use a blender as it leaves the salsa with a smooth consistency whereas a food processor will make it slightly chunky. It's all down to your own personal preference! If you are wanting to make your Salsa de Aguacate the truly traditional way then you can use a large pestle and mortar.
Storage
Transfer your salsa to a small container, cover in a layer of lime juice and cover with clingfilm. Place in the fridge, good for up to 3 days.
Top Tip
To store your Salsa de Aguacate in the fridge, cover it in a squeeze of lime juice. This will stop the avocado from browning and keep that vibrant green color!
FAQ
No! Although they both have an avocado base, guacamole is slightly chunkier and can include tomatoes and onion!
