Ingredients and Variations

Avocados – Look for firm, heavy avocados, or use frozen halves after they’ve been thawed.

Tomatoes – Roma tomatoes are sweet, dense and contain less juice, making them perfect for salsa. If Romas are not available, any variety will work. Even a can of drained diced tomatoes is delicious in a pinch. Why not choose Rotel tomatoes with diced chiles in them and save a step!

Seasonings – Lime juice adds a citrusy bite and keeps avocados from oxidizing (turning brown). Pineapple juice also works well and adds a sweet touch (careful of the sugar content if following strict keto). Besides cumin and cilantro, use this all-purpose southwest seasoning blend in everything from salsa to tacos! Or use taco seasoning which allows you to customize the ingredients for mild or spicy flavors in your recipes.

Add-Ins – For bulk and pops of color, toss in some black beans, corn kernels, or diced mango but sparingly since they aren’t strict keto. Increase the protein with some chia seeds, bacon bits, or bay shrimp. Or feel free to add other tasty add-ins like sliced black olives, jalapenos, and green chiles.

How to Make Avocado Salsa

  1. Toss diced avocados with lime juice and then gently stir in the remaining ingredients.
  2. Serve immediately or cover and chill until ready to serve.

Recipe Tips & Tricks

  • Be sure to cut the avocados and tomatoes to uniform sizes so you get a little of both in each bite!
  • Red onions not only add a sweet tangy flavor and some color to avocado salsa, but they will naturally keep avocados from turning brown due to their sulfur content.
  • Since this recipe is so easy to make, it’s best to prepare it within an hour of serving when all of the ingredients are fresh. If making the day before, drain the salsa before serving and adjust the seasonings.

How to Serve Avocado Salsa

Keto crackers, mozzarella cheese crackers or even zucchini fries make the perfect dippers for avocado salsa.

Use avocado salsa to top grilled or baked chicken breast, and an air fryer salmon filet. Delicious on taco lettuce wraps, shredded pork tacos, or grilled fish tacos. Use as a garnish for a Denver omelet, chorizo and eggs, or even deviled eggs.
