One of our all time favorite meals is this cilantro lime chicken, which we always serve with this salsa. But this is a great go to even if you don't want to make a meal out of it.
This is also one of those "recipes" that I don't ever measure. I just chop up the veggies and throw it all together, so feel free to modify the measurements to meet your needs.
I rarely make this with avocado's, since I am the only one in the family that likes them, AND because they do not do well if you have extras. If you want to add them in, be sure and do so immediately before serving. It is great either way!

Mmmmm. I remember the salsa. It was way good! I'll have to try it sometime.
ReplyDeleteAmazing flavors in my mouth!! The lime gives a nice hit and the cilantro is a wake up flavor. The salsa was cool and crisp. The textures and flavors mixed together for a little taste of heaven.
