Key ingredients and notes
This is an overview of the main ingredients in this recipe. See recipe card below for full ingredients and instructions.
- Avocados: You will need 3 ripe and peeled avocados. I like to go with ripe but not too soft avocados for the best texture.
- Vegetables: cherry tomatoes, red onions, jalapeños and garlic add great flavor. If you don’t like things on the spicy side, make sure to remove the skin and seeds from the jalapeño first.
- Cilantro: essential in any good salsa! If you’re not a fan, you can skip it, but the taste won’t be quite the same.
- Lima: We’re using lemon juice and lemon zest to add a bright citrus flavor. I think this one really does!
Favorite ways to use it

How to save
This avocado salsa recipe is best served the day it is made, while all the vegetables are still crisp and fresh. However, if needed, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Before serving, stir quickly to redistribute the ingredients.
