- 1 tsp salt
- water as needed
Instructions

Notes
A Note on Spice:
- I would describe this salsa as medium-spicy. You can adjust the spice level in this recipe to your liking. Feel free to hold back or load up on jalapeños depending on your personal preference.
- Avocado salsa will stay fresh in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. The avocados can cause the salsa to oxidize (turn brown) so be sure to cover the surface with plastic wrap and seal it tightly with a lid.
