Birgit's Food Fetish and Recipe Blog

First, these recipes are largely family recipes. I will try to attribute sources as much as possible, though some have been altered a bit from the original. Second, please excuse weird grammer and spelling. If I tried to edit everything I post, I'd never post anything. Third, some of my comments aren't for the faint of heart, since I can get kind of technical and biological about cooking and some of the ingredients. So, read at your own risk!

Mike's Near-Guacamole Salsa

I'm just like to say, before I enter the recipe, that the version I tasted was very heavy in lime. When I pressed Mike about that, he confessed to really loving lime, and to adding 4-5 limes worth of juice, instead of 1. So I would prefer that as well.

Near Guacamole Salsa

Origin: Mike Huben

2 avocados (not soft or they will get all mushy)
1 tomato
1 small Spanish onion
1/2 green bell pepper
juice of 1 (or 5) lime
cilantro to taste
jalapeno pepper to taste
salt and black pepper to taste

Chop all, mix and let stand for an hour. Serve and enjoy!

Please note, I really don't like cilantro, but I didn't mind this stuff.
