Combine all ingredients except the avocado in a bowl and mix well. Once mixed, gently add in the avocado and serve as a chip dip or topping to a main course.

Use Ripe Avocados: Choose ripe avocados for the best texture and flavor in your salsa. Look for avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure when squeezed, indicating they are ripe and ready to eat. Ripe avocados will have a creamy texture and a rich, buttery flavor, which enhances the overall taste of the salsa. If the avocado is too firm, it may not mash or blend well into the salsa.
Add Avocado Last: To prevent the avocado from becoming mushy or discolored, add it to the salsa last and mix gently. Adding the avocado at the end ensures that it retains its shape and texture, adding a creamy contrast to the chunky salsa. Gently fold the diced avocado into the salsa mixture until just combined, taking care not to overmix or crush the avocado pieces.
Adjust Seasonings to Taste: Taste the salsa after mixing all the ingredients together and adjust the seasonings to suit your preferences. Add more salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed to enhance the flavors and balance the taste. Keep in mind that the acidity from the lime juice helps to brighten the flavors of the salsa, so adjust accordingly to achieve the perfect balance of tanginess and freshness.
