The vegetables are still present, even though you won’t be able to taste them. An excellent approach to convince people who dislike vegetables to eat some vegetables.

Reviews
It was good, but had to much cider vinegar.
This is excellent. I made a few tweaks; I added a lot of fresh cilantro and about a teaspoon of sriracha. Omitted the oregano because it seemed like it wouldn’t mesh well with the other flavours. I added lime juice instead of apple cider vinegar the second time I made it and it was a subtle difference.
For a mild, refreshing take on salsa, this was good. I believe the addition of some chopped jalapeno and cilantro would bring this recipe to five stars for me personally. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
This is delish will definitely be making it again. I kept the olives out since we are not fans of olives. We also used Tostitos hint of lime chips and it went so well with the salsa!
I made this as the recipe calls. The oregano was just wrong. I would make this again but skip the oregano and use cilantro. My family liked it but they like everything. Cilantro.
I made a lot of changes just based on the ingred I had on hand. I used fresh corn on the cob that I cooked in husk in microwave for 2 min. I left out olives because we don’t like them. I also left out the oregano because we do not like it. This was super easy and everyone loved it.
I about doubled the vinegar and added lime juice as well as lemon juice. I have a reaction to avocados and the acid helps lessen that reaction. I also use frozen corn and bell peppers and onions, so I mix everything together and then microwave it for ten seconds at a time, stirring in between microwaving. That melts the frozen things and helps the ingredients marry without having to wait hours. Because by the time I smell it, I’m late for eating it. 10/10 do recommend, SO SO GOOD.

I made this salad and added sugar and grape seed oil. This recipe is a keeper!
mmmmmmmMMMMMMMM!!!
This was a delicious recipe! I did make a few tweaks though. I didn’t use olives because I thought they would be too overpowering. I added 2 cans of black beans and one medium tomato. I also thought it was a little bland (Probably because I added all those black beans) so I used a whole lemon, an extra tbsp of vinegar, 1/4 extra tsp oregano, and 1 tsp cilantro. If you have leftovers, just make some white rice and grilled chicken and add your leftovers to the rice for a delicious Santa Fe bowl. Or wrap them up in tortillas! Yum!
my go to food for a diet week! can eat it day and night through the week and never get bored of it. It helps me shed off the pounds. I leave out the onions and add an extra avocado or two.
Idk what this is, honestly. Authentic Mexican salsa doesn’t have olive oil in it. I was shocked at the lack of flavor in this even as there are tons of five star reviews (what drew me to the recipe in the first place). I was misled because many of these reviewers raved about how amazing this recipe was, yet they added a ton of ingredients. If this is the case, then this is not a good recipe by itself. I myself instinctually threw in a 1/4 cup of cilantro, 1 tbsp of cumin, and 1 tbsp of cayenne pepper because from the list of ingredients I knew it wouldn’t be spicy…which is the whole point of salsa. This seems to be yet another overhyped wipipo recipe ??
Absolutely love this recipe! As some have mentioned, it takes some time to chop and put together, as well as doing it the day before, but it’s worth it. It makes a lot, too, so great for a party.
Made it for my vegan and vegetarian children for our family Christmas gathering. Such a refreshing, bright dish. I served it as a salad, not as a dip. Everyone , vegan/ vegetarian and not, LOVED!
This is one of the best appetizers ever! Even people who dont like avocados like this. Its fresh and light and delicious with chips, as a salsa on tacos, or just with a spoon! I give it 5 stars as is. I will note that I have made several variations. I’ve used one can of black beans and one can of olives, tomatoes instead of red peppers, or combinations of all of the above. My favorite is using lime juice and fresh cilantro instead of lemon juice and dried oregano, but you can’t go wrong with this recipe!
This is the best!!! Will make again! My only change, adding black beans ??
This is such an excellent recipe for adding or substituting different ingredients. I didn’t have cider vinegar or oregano so I used red wine vinegar and cumin instead. I also added a can of black beans to give it some protein. Delicious.
I substituted the red bell pepper with Roma tomatoes. Delish!
A refreshing variation of traditional guacamole 🙂
I made this to go with chipotle turkey burgers and it was so refreshing and tasty! I added a smal chopped tomato for color because I didn’t have red pepper. I used a light green pepper instead.
