Time 15m

Yield 3 cups (about 8 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon chopped peeled fresh ginger
1 jalapeno, seeded if desired, chopped
1/2 clove garlic, chopped
Kosher salt
1 cup finely chopped fresh pineapple, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped, plus a few sprigs for garnish
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup grape tomatoes, quartered
2 ripe avocados, peeled, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Sweet potato, blue corn and plantain chips, for dipping

Steps:

  • Place the ginger, jalapeno and garlic on a cutting board. Using a large knife, chop the ingredients together until they are minced and well combined. Sprinkle the mixture with 1/4 teaspoon salt and use the side of the knife to work the mixture into a coarse paste. Transfer the paste to a medium bowl and add the pineapple, chopped cilantro, onions, tomatoes and avocados. Toss gently to combine. Add the lime juice and 3/4 teaspoon salt and toss again. Taste and add additional salt if desired. Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and garnish with a few pieces of diced pineapple and cilantro sprigs. Serve with the chips. Cook's Note: If you're making this salsa ahead of time, you can refrigerate it, covered, for up to 4 hours. When ready to serve, stir well, transfer to a serving bowl and garnish.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Use avocados that yield to gentle pressure and have a slightly dark green color. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have brown spots.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients like cilantro, onions, and tomatoes will give your salsa the best flavor. If possible, buy organic ingredients to avoid pesticides and herbicides.
  • Adjust the heat level to your preference: If you like spicy salsa, add more jalapeño peppers or cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder salsa, omit the peppers or use less of them.
  • Let the salsa rest before serving: This allows the flavors to meld together and develop. Resting the salsa for at least 30 minutes is ideal, but you can also make it ahead of time and let it rest overnight in the refrigerator.

Conclusion:

Tropical Avocado Salsa is a delicious and refreshing salsa that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it spicy or mild, chunky or smooth, this salsa is sure to please everyone at your party or gathering. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful appetizer or side dish, give Tropical Avocado Salsa a try.
