South-of-the-Border Salsa

By Thom7747

This versatile sauce can serve as a dip for crisp tortilla chips or as a spicy marinade for poultry or fish. Stir the salsa into a soup to spice up a light lunch with the avocado variation. Avocado Salsa is a delicious condiment that can be used in the same way as guacamole . Since avocados are perishable, prepare the variation no more than one day ahead.
