Pico de Gallo with Avocado and Shrimp

I went to a restaurant and spent an arm and a leg to try this appetizer. Once it came out, I was dumbfounded on how easy it would be to make. So I made it and even tweaked it a little and everybody loves it. Serve with tortilla chips such as Tostitos® Scoops!®. I have used different kinds of pico de gallo ranging from the mango to chipotle. To prevent your avocado from browning, chop it up and mix in right before serving.

Salsa with Avocado

This is a very easy recipe that always gets rave reviews and many recipe requests. A co-worker who is from Mexico shared it with me. I only use about one inch of the jalapeno, because I like my salsa with a kick, not a flaming punch. It’s very quick to prepare, and can be served immediately. I like to make it at least an hour before serving, so the flavors can marry. The key ingredient is the El Pato Tomato Sauce® (yellow can), that can be found in the ethnic section of your supermarket. You may have to go to a Mexican market if you can’t find it at your usual supermarket. Serve with tortilla chips. Leftovers are great the next day, too!

Peach Avocado Salsa

          

Fresh peaches with creamy avocado, bell pepper, onions, and jalapeno make a great summertime salsa. Use as a topper for grilled fish or chicken, or just dip tortilla chips in it. Not a fan of avocados? The salsa is just as great without it. The longer it can marinate, the better it is.
