How to Make Avocado Salsa

1. Make sure to choose a ripe avocado from the produce section of the grocery store. When you push in the skin, it should give a little without being mushy.

2. Using a sharp knife, slice avocado in half lengthwise. You may remove the pit by "stabbing" it and pulling it out, or simply cutting gently around the pit, then removing it.

3. Chop avocado, tomato and tropical fruit. Mix gently in bowl.

4. Add fresh lime juice or lemon juice and finely chopped white onion, if desired.

5. Stir again, careful not to over mix. Salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with cilantro and serve in a festive bowl alongside tortilla chips.
