August 6, 2015 at 3:57 pmThis looks great, but I’m actually allergic to avocado. Any substitute ideas?

August 17, 2015 at 1:07 pmHi 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!

March 2, 2018 at 7:25 pmI 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.

July 13, 2018 at 2:46 pmCan I make this ahead to bring to a party? Will the avocados hold up?
Lauren Allen says
July 13, 2018 at 3:07 pmA few hours ahead would be fine. If overnight, I would cut the avocado fresh before serving. Enjoy!

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.!
