Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Ripe avocados
- 1 whole Green bell pepper
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 1 medium White onion
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Chop the green bell pepper into smaller pieces and add it to the blender.
Roughly chop the white onion and add it to the blender, along with the garlic cloves.
Add the fresh cilantro, parsley, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the blender.
If using jalapeño or serrano pepper for heat, trim off the stem, slice it lengthwise, and remove the seeds before adding it to the blender. (You can leave some seeds if you prefer more spice.)
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, lime juice, or pepper.
Transfer the Salsa Guasacaca to a serving dish and refrigerate for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a dip, sauce, or accompaniment with your favorite dishes.
