  • Red onion provides crunch and sharpness. You would immerse the onion slices in chilled water for 5 to 10 minutes to soften the taste.

CILANTRO:

  • Cilantro provides the freshness and brightness in the salsa. We have to make use of the fragile stems & leaves. We can also use the parsley if cilantro isn’t available; although it will somewhat alter the flavor.

JALAPENOS:

  • We add the jalapenos in the avocado salsa as it add the mild to moderate heat. We can taste & adjust the amount, or add extra heat by using Serrano instead. We can remove the seeds and membrane to make the salsa milder.

  • Lime Juice keeps the avocado from browning due sharpness of fresh lime juice.
