This avocado salsa is delicious, fresh and flavorful and goes as an appetizer or just as a snack near some pita bread chips or nachos. I usually like to make my own pita bread chips as I find them really easy to make and love the idea of serving freshly made dishes, from beginning to the end.
This avocado salsa was first introduced to us by some good friends that came to our house and cooked together with us. I really loved it and so I wanted to share it with you. Hope you will try it too, let me know:)
