Tropical Avocado Salsa Recipes

Steps:

• Gently toss together all ingredients with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Add the pineapple, mango, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, and salt to a bowl. Cover and let chill for at least 1 hour before serving so the flavors can marry together.

Steps:

• Place the ginger, jalapeno and garlic on a cutting board. Using a large knife, chop the ingredients together until they are minced and well combined. Sprinkle the mixture with 1/4 teaspoon salt and use the side of the knife to work the mixture into a coarse paste. Transfer the paste to a medium bowl and add the pineapple, chopped cilantro, onions, tomatoes and avocados. Toss gently to combine. Add the lime juice and 3/4 teaspoon salt and toss again. Taste and add additional salt if desired. Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and garnish with a few pieces of diced pineapple and cilantro sprigs. Serve with the chips. Cook's Note: If you're making this salsa ahead of time, you can refrigerate it, covered, for up to 4 hours. When ready to serve, stir well, transfer to a serving bowl and garnish.

• Tip: Fresh coconut preparation. Poke the three identations at the end of the coconut with a screwdriver or nail and drain out the coconut water. Reserve or discard, as desired. Place coconut in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes. Remove and allow to cool to room temp (shell may already have begun to crack). When cooled, place on a cement surface and hit with a hammer until the shell splits open. Pry the coconut meat from the shell with a screwdriver or other tool. Peel the brown skin from the meat with a sharp paring knife. For this recipe, dice into fine dice (about 1/8 to 1/4 inch cubes) a half cup of coconut. Grate the remainder in food processor and save for other recipes. Can be refrigerated for a week or frozen for 6 months.
