avocado salsa (guasacaca)











Hall of Fame!  This avocado salsa is sooooo delicious.  I am so happy to have this recipe.  It's fresh, zesty, salty and creamy.  Perfect.  

avocado salsa (guasacaca) (adapted slightly from Cooking Light's Global Kitchen Cookbook)
2 cups finely chopped onion
3/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
3 tablespoons finely chopped seeded jalapeno pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (cut from 3 tablespoons)
3 tablespoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups chopped peeled avocado (about 2)
1 1/2 cups chopped seeded plum tomato (about 1 pound)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Combine first 9 ingredients in a large bowl; toss mixture gently.  Cover and refrigerate 3 hours.  Stir in avocado and remaining ingredients just before serving.  Serves 24 (serving size 1/4 cup)
Note:  It's so good there's no way 1/4 cup is enough for me.  A serving size for me is half this recipe! :)
