Description

Avocado is known as butter fruit in some parts. The fruit is a native of Mexico. Salsa is spicy salad of tomatoes and onions and bell peppers (capsicum) and is made to accompany Mexican foods.
Olive oil is made by crushing and then pressing olives. Olive oil is more healthful than other oils because of high content of monounsaturated fat (mainly oleic acid) and polyphenols. This oil comes in different varieties, depending on the amount of processing involved. Of these, extra virgin olive oil has the most delicate flavour and highest antioxidant benefits.
Extra virgin olive oil;-
Considered the best, among all the olive oils, as this oil comes from the first pressing of the olives.

Note

1) Use only ripe Avocado. To ripen the fruit, keep in a brown paper bag. When ripe it will turn brown from green. Since the cut fruit discolours fast, it should be tossed with lemon juice soon as it is cut, if not used immediately.

Method

1) Remove stone from Avocado. Chop flesh coarsely. Add little lime juice immediately to prevent discolouration.
2) Mix all salsa ingredients together. Mash everything together lightly with a fork or with hand.
3) In a bowl combine the dressing ingredients together & beat well with a fork, so that it emulsifies well.
4) Just before serving, mix the dressing with the salad. Chill for sometime.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with Tortilla chips or as it is.
