This month, I found a delicious recipe for a creamy avocado salsa. It’s perfect with tortilla chips or on tacos or burritos. Here is the link, https://houseofyumm.com/creamy-avocado-salsa/

We like our salsa a bit chunkier, so I used a manual food processor for this recipe. The avocado still makes the recipe creamy.

I threw some of the salsa in a blender and used it as a dressing for a salad. Wow! It was incredible.

This recipe has simple ingredients, takes minutes to make and it’s versatile. I added some crushed red pepper and black pepper; otherwise the ingredients matched the recipe. How much you blend or don’t blend is up to you, but I recommend you try it both ways.

I really like the website, too. The directions are easy to follow without a lot of other information you don’t need, but it still has a personal touch. You can tell they enjoy cooking and sharing food recipes and ideas.

I’ll be making twelve versions of salsa or Pico de Gallo. I intended to use recipes from the same website, but for this Salsa Roja, I went to Love and Lemons. It’s one of my all-time favorite salsa recipes.

Traditional salsa is made with cooked tomatoes, onions, peppers, and spices. Usually, it’s blended or pureed to create a smooth texture. Sometimes sugar is added.

Raw salsa is uncooked fresh ingredients that are still blended like traditional salsa instead of left chunky like Pico de Gallo.

Pico de Gallo is a chunky, uncooked sauce made from chopped tomatoes, red onions, peppers, cilantro, and lime juice.

You typically won’t find cooked salsa used in traditional Mexican cuisine.

Here is the list of the salsas I’ve made so far. I won’t be posting which salsa/Pico de Gallo I’ll be making in advance. You’ll have to check back every month to see what’s cooking!
