Recipe Makes (Approximate): 4

Equipment

  • standard blender
  • Jar with lid or other airtight container

Ingredients

  • 1 large ripe avocado (halved, pit removed, peeled)
  • 1 whole fresh jalapeno (stem removed, pepper quartered, seeds removed if desired)
  • 1  cup water
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar (see Notes)
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons diced onions

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to blender. Blend on high speed until mixture is completely smooth.
  • Taste salsa after blending and adjust flavor, adding jalapeño, salt, cilantro, or onion as needed. If adding ingredients, blend mixture again until smooth.
  • Once desired flavor is achieved, serve immediately or transfer salsa to airtight container and refrigerate until ready to enjoy.

Recipe Notes

White Vinegar: The vinegar can be replaced with fresh lime juice, but white vinegar is better at preventing the avocado from browning. I prefer the brightness it provides over the lime juice, too.
Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container up to two weeks.
