Tips for Making the Best Avocado Salsa:

1. Choose Ripe Produce: Ensure your strawberries, mangoes, and avocados are ripe for the best flavor and texture.
2. Adjust the Heat: If you like your salsa spicier, leave some seeds in the jalapeno or add a second pepper.
3. Serve Fresh: This salsa is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, prepare all the ingredients except the avocado and lime juice. Add those just before serving to prevent browning.
4. Pairing Suggestions: While this salsa is perfect with pita chips, it’s also excellent on grilled salmon, shrimp, or fish tacos. The sweet and spicy flavors complement seafood beautifully.

This Avocado Salsa is not just a treat for the taste buds but also a visual delight with its bright and colorful ingredients. It’s an easy and healthy addition to your summer menu that everyone will love. Enjoy this versatile dish at your next picnic, barbecue, or as a light snack anytime!
