Chunky avocado salsa or side salad

By Layla Pujol 1 Comment

Chunky avocado salsa

This chunky avocado salsa recipe is one of my favorite toppings; it can be served with regular corn chips or with patacones/tostones (green plantain chips). I also love it as a bruschetta topping for grilled garlic bread or garlic toast. It can also be served as a basic avocado side salad for a variety of main dishes, from grilled fish to grilled shrimp or grilled chicken.

Ingredients

  • 1 red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 avocados peeled, seeded and sliced or diced
  • 2-3 hot or mild peppers, seeded and deveined, finely diced – adjust to taste, can also use mini sweet peppers for a non-spicy option

Instructions

I recommend washing the sliced red onions with some salt and water, we do this frequently in Ecuador to help remove the bitterness/strong flavor from the onions. Of course, if you are using onions that are very mild and on the sweeter side, then it is less necessary. I like to add spicy hot peppers to mine, but for a non-spicy variation of this avocado topping you can use mini sweet peppers, they will still add some nice crunch, sweetness, and a touch of color. This chunky avocado salsa is very easy to make and can be prepared in advance.
