  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper for seasoning

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Citrus Juicer

Method
 

  1. Start by peeling and segmenting the clementine oranges. Ensure to remove any seeds and pith for a smooth texture. Dice the avocados into small pieces and add them to a mixing bowl.
  2. Next, finely dice the red onion and jalapeño. If you prefer a milder salsa, remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeño. Add these to the bowl with the avocados.
  3. Chop the cilantro finely and add it to the mixing bowl. Pour in the olive oil and freshly squeezed lime juice, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. Using a spatula or large spoon, gently fold all the ingredients together, being careful not to mash the avocados too much.
  5. Taste your Avocado Orange Salsa! Adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice if needed.
  6. For best results, let the salsa sit for about 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve it chilled with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite dishes.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • To minimize browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the salsa before sealing the container.
  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
