I have a well-known salsa addiction. I don’t even attempt to hide it or make excuses, I’ve come to own it out-right and embrace it. Back in grade school I’d come home from school/dance/soccer/etc and make a beeline straight for the refrigerator for a jar of salsa, making a pit stop at the pantry for a bag of tortilla chips on my way to the kitchen table.
I’d have eaten the salsa straight up with a spoon but my mother said that was “ludicrous”.
Sometimes I’m ludicrous.
I typically shy away from store-bought fruity salsas because I have this thing about Mexican food needing to be 100% savory and mouth-burningly spicy whenever possible. But as I’ve found, I like a lot of foods I didn’t think I used to like when I can make them myself and cater to my taste preference. Like with cole slaw, I used to think I hated coleslaw. But when I make it myself I hit the savory side harder than the sweet side and go light on the mayo. Love it.
In the case of fruity salsas, I let the fruit do the sweet talking and then bring in some big bold savory flavors like lime, avocado, red onions, and fresh jalapeños.
This salsa is the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and savory. I thought there was no way my husband and I could get through an entire batch but we did…. in a single sitting. OOPS!

Hello. I was just about to abandon your website. However I have My Fitness pal and am soooo excited I can plug and play your recepies!!!
This recipe is amazing!!! I made it for my self (my spouse is incredibly picky ) so I left the avocado pits I the bowl to help the avocados from turning before I could enjoy all this goodness!!
Just made this. Yumo! I totally forgot the cilantro, but soon figured out why. Look on your list of ingredients.. It is missing! Mine doesn’t look near as nice, but it is tasty!
OOPS! Ha, thanks for the catch stacey, I’ll add it right now!!
Tiffany, I love both your recipes and photography. I have a large strawberry patch and am looking for different ways to consume their goodness. Looks great – can’t wait!
