Avocado salsa recipe

Avocado salsa is a creamy, vibrant Mexican dip. It brings a creamy twist to traditional salsa with blended avocados. It is often described as a hybrid of guacamole and pico de gallo.

It balances richness from avocados with bright acidity and heat. It’s a fresher, lighter alternative to traditional salsas.

Avocado salsa is a perfect dip for tortilla chips, nachos, or as a topping for tacos, fajitas, taco salads, and grilled meats. It also adds flavor to burritos, pan-seared salmon, black bean burgers, beef taquitos, and more.

You can add it to tortilla soup. It also works as a creamy salad dressing or a topping for grilled flank steak and seafood.
