One of my favorite avocado recipes, this salsa pairs avocado with tomatoes, jalapenos and garlic for a creamy, spicy chip-topper you won't soon forget.
Avocados are full of heart-healthy fat, fiber, Vitamin C and folate. This salsa recipe is a terrific way to reap all the health benefits avocados offer. It goes great with my homemade tortilla chip recipe.
If you like this salsa, be sure to try my homemade guacamole recipe, too.
