Avocado Salsa
Chef: Allison Reynolds 'Mere Morsels' with Allison Reynolds
A salsa is a cross between a sauce and a salad. It’s very colourful and also compliments other food well, such as grilled squid or salmon and is a very popular addition to barbecues to accompany grilled meats.I find it enhances and extends a good chilli con carne when served wrapped in burritos. Try it as a tasty snack served on top of toasted crusty chewy bread.
Serves Makes a serving for 2-4
You need:
Dressing:Juice of 1 lime2 tbsp extra virgin olive oilSalt and freshly ground black pepper· Whisk together the lime juice, olive oil and seasoning to make a dressing.2 plump ripe tomatoes, chopped½ bunch of fresh torn or chopped coriander leaves, ½ small red onion, peeled and finely chopped1 ripe avocado, peeled and chopped1 small red chilli, deseeded and chopped
Method:
· Put the tomatoes into a medium size bowl along with the coriander leaves (keep a few back for garnish) and onion.· Gently stir the chopped avocado into the tomatoes etc along with the chilli and enough dressing to moisten and flavour the salsa.· Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with a few coriander leaves.· Cover with cling wrap and leave on one side for an hour if possible to allow the flavours to develop.
