Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe avocados
- 2 pieces roma tomatoes
- 0.5 piece small red onion
- 1 piece lime
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 piece jalapeño pepper
- 1 piece garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized bowl. Gently mash the avocado using a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
Dice the roma tomatoes, ensuring to remove excess seeds and juice to prevent the salsa from becoming watery. Add them to the bowl with avocado.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl.
Roll the lime on a countertop with your palm to loosen the juices, then cut it in half. Squeeze the juice over the avocado and tomato mixture.
Chop the fresh cilantro finely and add it to the salsa mixture.
Slice the jalapeño pepper in half, remove the seeds and membranes to reduce heat, then dice it finely. Add to the bowl. If you prefer more heat, include some seeds.
Mince the garlic clove finely and add it to the salsa.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir everything gently to combine all ingredients well.
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning or lime juice as needed depending on your preference.
Serve immediately with your favorite keto-friendly dishes or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
