Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash all the vegetables thoroughly. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat) into small pieces and add them to the bowl with the avocados.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and Cilantro

    Mince the garlic cloves and chop the cilantro finely. Add both to the mixing bowl.

  4. 4

    Add Lime Juice and Seasoning

    Pour lime juice over the mixture, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. If using, add olive oil and corn at this stage.

  5. 5

    Mix the Salsa

    Gently stir all ingredients together until well combined, being careful not to mash the avocado too much.

  6. 6

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, lime juice, or pepper.
