- Prepare Vegetables: Dice the avocados, tomatoes, finely chop the red onion and cilantro, and mince the jalapeño after removing its seeds for controlled heat.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, gently mix all the diced and chopped ingredients together to blend the fresh flavors without mashing the avocado.

- Serve: Serve immediately as a creamy, tangy dip alongside tortilla chips or use it as a delicious topping for your favorite tacos and other Mexican dishes.
Notes
- For a spicier salsa, leave some seeds in the jalapeño or add more finely minced jalapeño.
- Use ripe but firm avocados to keep the salsa from becoming too mushy.
- Prepare just before serving to prevent browning of the avocado and maintain freshness.
- This salsa can be refrigerated for up to 1 day; cover tightly with plastic wrap to minimize oxidation.
- Adjust lime juice and salt according to personal taste preferences.
