Notes

  • Use ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for creamy texture.
  • Always use fresh lime juice to brighten flavors and prevent browning.
  • Start with a small amount of jalapeño and add more gradually to adjust spice level.
  • Let the salsa chill for 10-15 minutes before serving to meld flavors.
  • Stir gently to keep avocado chunks intact for pleasing texture contrast.
  • Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before refrigerating to prevent browning.
