  • I made this last night and used it on my black bean/egg breakfast. It was really good and a nice break from the spinach omelets I've been eating most days. I'm sure this will be good on all sorts of things

    NOTES : This can serve as a spicy marinade for poultry or fish. Stir the salsa into a soup to spice up a light lunch with the avocado variation. It can be used in the same way as guacamole. Since avocados are perishable, prepare the variation no more than one day ahead.
  • That sounds fantastic!
