12 roma tomatoes, seeded, diced

SALSA GUACAMOLE

Guests will rave about this combination of fire roasted salsa and guacamole -- you'll make it again and again!

Salsa:

1 can (14.5 oz) Muir Glen® organic fire roasted or plain diced tomatoes, well drained
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt (kosher or sea salt)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 small fresh jalapeño chile, seeded, finely chopped

Guacamole:

3 ripe large avocados (about 1 1/2 lb) pitted, peeled
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt (kosher or sea salt)

Answer 3

Though used as a veggie, the tomato is technically a fruit, so here is my party suggestion:

chop up avocado
chop up tomato
mix the two together in equal parts
add a splash of balsamic vinegar
add a splash of olive oil
add a little salt and pepper to taste

Not only is it easy, but it is beautiful (very colorful!) And for a pretty healthy food, it is also pretty filling because that avocado has healthy fats in it.

Have fun!
