My New Favorite Salsa

I tried this at the suggestion of my coworker, Sara Pomeroy.  Initially, I turned up my nose at it because it contains avocado which I've always thought was just too gross to eat.  But served this way, the avocado is "hidden" enough to eat, and it does in fact enhance the rest of the ingredients.

You take a jar of regular salsa (or make some if you care to)

Add some chunks of mango

Add some some chunks of avocado

I also chopped up some fresh cilantro in there, because I really like cilantro.

(Rough estimate of quantities:  1 24 oz jar of salsa, three avocados, 2 or mangoes (depending on how ripe they are) and a partridge in a pear tree.  The hard part is catching that dadgummed bird.

I accidentally got "medium" hot salsa instead of mild (I am weenie).  Since it was a bit too spicy for me, I topped it with some cream to calm down the flames in my mouth.  Other than the sour cream, it was actually quite healthy.  Avocados are really good for you; they have lot of important oils in them. An interesting result of the oils is that they make you feel full. 

I went so bananas over the mango/avocado salsa that I ended up having a dinner which consisted of a small hamburger patty (pre-made, see earlier blog entry) and a bowl of the salsa.  That was all I needed and it sure was good!
