Tips for Making the Perfect Avocado Salsa
Choose ripe avocados: Use a ripe avocado for a naturally creamy consistency.
Adjust the spice: Remove jalapeño seeds for a milder flavour or retain some seeds for extra heat.
Use fresh tomatillos: Fresh tomatillos help achieve the characteristic tangy taste of green salsa.
Blend according to your preference: Blend longer for a smoother texture or less for a slightly chunky salsa.
Serve fresh: Avocado can turn brown when exposed to air. Adding a little lime juice can help slow discolouration.
