Avocado & Salsa Dip

I remember when Israel began to first grow and harvest avocados in the Galilee! It was a day to celebrate! They have the largest, most sumptuous avocados of anywhere I've been. I was happy to be able use avocados regularly with our meals. Even today, I still eat portions of an avocado nearly everyday. They are satisfying and so nutritious.

Ingredients

2 ripe avocados, mashed well with a fork
3-4 tblsp fresh squeezed lime juice (or use lemon)
1-2 tbslp prepared salsa (optional)
5-6 Italian tomatoes, finely chopped
1-2 green onions, finely chopped
1 tsp finely chopped fresh cilantro (stems removed)
1-2 tsp sea salt, to taste
1/2 tsp fresh finely ground pepper
Dash of Herb and Garlic Seasonings (i.e., McCormicks Chicken Seasoning)
Dash Hot Sauce, to taste (optional)

Procedure

In a mixing bowl, add the lime juice to the mashed avocados and mix well. This will help to keep the avocado from turning black. Add the rest of the ingredients, and taste to adjust the seasonings. Serve immediately. This is a great accompanient with chips, appetizer toast or fresh pita.
