Spicy avocado salsa

Serves:

Serves 4 as a side salad and 8 as a salsa

Ingredients

• 1 large avocado, diced
• 1 large tomato, finely diced
• 100g yellow capsicum, finely diced
• 1-2 spring onions, finely sliced
• 1 fresh chilli, seeds removed and finely chopped
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 small garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 cup chopped coriander

Method

Mix all ingredients together and keep in fridge.

Notes

• If not serving within 30 minutes, add tomatoes in before serving to avoid the salsa getting watery (or de-seed before mixing together).
• I’ve used yellow capsicum because I like the sweet flavour, but you can use any capsicum you like.
• This salsa would be lovely served in lettuce cups with a bit of left-over chicken – yummy lunch.
• Feel free to omit the chilli if you are serving to children.
• I have used lemon juice in this recipe but it is also nice if you use lime juice in its place.
