There are few things I love more in life than delicious fresh salsa. This is a fantastic, simple salsa recipe I've been making for years, and it seemed appropriate to share it on Cinco de Mayo!
INGREDIENTS
3 ripe avocados, chopped
5 large roma tomatoes, chopped
1 sweet red bell pepper, diced
1 banana pepper, diced
1 medium onion, diced
4 cloves of garlic, minced
Hot peppers, as desired, diced*
Large handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
Salt to taste
DIRECTIONS
Mix it all together and enjoy with tortilla chips and a nice cold Corona!
*A note on the hot peppers: I like to experiment, and try a different assortment of hot peppers just about every time I make this. It really just depends on how spicy you like your salsa! A couple of jalapeños are a pretty safe choice to start with. I tried adding an orange habanero once - that was a little too hot for me. Just be careful and wear disposable gloves whenever you handle them! I had an unfortunate incident once where I handled some hot peppers with my bare hands. Hours went by, and I washed my hands numerous times, but I discovered there was still some hot pepper oil on my hands when I went to take my contacts out later that night. It wasn't fun...
