It has been a great week here at the Gluten Free Table! For now, let me leave you with this AMAZING Avocado Salsa Recipe.
My sister, Brooke, gave me this recipe and I make it for new people all the time… because, I mean- how could you not?! (you will understand it’s addiction after your first taste)
Now for all of you who “claim” to not like avocado or guacamole, do not – i repeat- do not skip this recipe because of your past experiences with avocado. Let this recipe REDEEM this so healthy and yummy green (almost wrote vegetable- but checked wikipedia)- fruit. Learn something new everyday!
This has become our extended family get together “go-to”… A recipe that is requested by neighbors, friends and co-workers…
Looking for a unique appetizer to take to the next cook-out, potluck or family/friend get together?
This is it!
- 4-5 large ripened avocado (you don’t want it to be bright green and it needs to give a little when you push the skin- but not too much or it is overripe and bruised. If you cut it open and it has brown inside, it is overripe. I always buy 1 extra just in case I get a bad one.)
- 1 container of feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped and diced red onion
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 TB Oregano
- 1 TB Parsley
- Dice avocado
- Add Feta Cheese and red onion
- In a separate bowl, mix the olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano and parsley
- Add liquid mixture to the avocado mixture
- Mix
- Serve with tortilla chips or Crackers
- Fall in Love!
Avocado Salsa
*This makes enough for 6-8 adults. If you are making it for less than that, you may want to halve the recipe. Wouldn’t want you to waste it since the avocado’s turn brown so quickly!*
