Reviews
Loved this! My review is more for the preparation and not the salsa. I had just purchased a tub of our favorite local salsa, so I used that instead. The thrill was taking a completely good avocado and preparing it in a way I never would have thought of. Warm avocado? Husband was skeptical but I insisted that we try it. We were both amazed at how easy and delicious it was. Took the avocados off the grill, filled with salsa and plated with fresh tortilla chips. It was like a personal gourmet guacamole salsa bowl. I highly recommend this!
Loved this recipe! Took a bit longer to prepare than advertised, but that’s all right; it was delicious! I’ve never made my own salsa before, so this was an excellent start. I might even add more lime juice next time; I could barely detect it. I also didn’t have a grill, so I just tried to cook the avocados in the oven. They never got soft, but that’s probably just my fault (although it would be nice if the recipe gave some non-grill cooking instructions for beginners!). I then scooped out the avocado and mixed it in with the salsa. It was awesome! Will definitely be using this one again! Perfect for the one true king of Westeros.
