Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe avocados
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) lime juice
  • 1 medium tomato, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) ground cumin
  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt

Cooking Instructions

  1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and peel them. If they are ripe, the peel should come off easily. Dice the avocado flesh, and dump into a bowl. 
  2. Add all the remaining ingredients, and toss to combine without mashing. The ingredients should remain separate, and the salsa chunky.
  3. Serve with tortilla chips for dipping, or as an accompaniment to tacos or burritos.
Servings: Makes about 2 cups (500 mL).

How kids can help:


Dice the avocado while it’s still in its shell! Cut the avocado in half, pull the halves apart, remove the pit and cut criss-cross all the way to the skin (but not through it). Remove the diced avocado from the skin using a spoon.

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.
