Avocado Feta Salsa |
You may have noticed an influx of avocado recipes around here lately, and that's because they were dirt cheap at the grocery store for a few weeks so I did what any avocado lover would and snatched them up in large quantities. We definitely had no problem finishing them off, and got to enjoy them in a few new ways, like the
grilled salmon with avocado salsa and a chicken recipe that I'll be sharing soon!
This is actually an oldie but a goodie, a recipe that I pulled from The Sweets Life archives because it was desperate for a dusting off and a new photograph or two! Actually, it could be argued that its pretty similar to the salsa atop the salmon referenced above, except that it uses a few unexpected ingredients, like parsley and oregano and red wine vinegar!
You can serve this with tortilla chips as an appetizer, but it also makes a good side salad. We've eaten it both ways and it certainly doesn't last long. Make it for a football game this season and watch it disappear!

from The Sweets Life archives

-2 plum tomatoes, chopped
-1 avocado, chopped
-1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
-1 clove garlic, minced
-1 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
-1 tbsp oregano, finely chopped
-1 tbsp olive oil
-1 tbsp red (or white) wine vinegar
-1/2 cup feta, crumbled

(the salsa can be made several hours ahead of time if you prefer, but then don't add the avocado until just before serving to prevent browning)
