Jasmine says
This looks great, but I’m actually allergic to avocado. Any substitute ideas?
Lauren Allen says
Hi Jasmine, I’m honestly not sure what would be a good substitute…I would just leave it out, and maybe add some extra tomatoes. It will still be delicious!
Elaine says
Lots of chopping – and well worth it! Always a hit!

I have made this three times in 1 month for family gatherings and parties. Major hit, and so flavorful. I chopped a few jalapenos for those spicy lovers to add to their own dish . I love that it’s fat free! Don’t be afraid of the cilantro; itmakes the dish. I used 2 cans of pintos, a big bunch of cilantro, and a tad bit more onion. Enjoy. Get a good tortilla chip brand because this salsa is worth it.

Can I make this ahead to bring to a party? Will the avocados hold up?
Lauren Allen says
A few hours ahead would be fine. If overnight, I would cut the avocado fresh before serving. Enjoy!

“COWBOY SALSA”
What kind of people put this recipe together? LOL
It called for “2 avocados , peeled, seeded and diced”. Why not just say: “”2 avocados diced”” Who in the world eats the skin & SEED of an avocado? We don’t want people dicing the skin & seed of any avocado and try eating it.!
