Cooking Tip
Avocado
The lime juice will help the avocado from turning brown instead of staying green. If not using immediately, press plastic wrap directly against the surface, so the air cannot come in contact with the avocado. Give a quick stir when ready to use.
Cooking Tip
Prepare Salsa Ahead
This is one of those salsa recipes that just gets better and better if given a few hours or a day for the flavors to infuse with one another.
