Avocado Citrus Salsa

{At our house, we need any excuse we can get to enjoy the Mexicany-ness of a good fiesta. For years we have enjoyed some good food for cinco de Mayo, but this year, we really outdid ourselves ourselves (if I do say so myself). And so, we are divulging the deliciousness in our new Fiesta series. So grab some spices and hold onto your sombreros! These recipes are el mejor.}

{To start off the fiesta we are going to introduce a delectable fruit salsa to the table. I saw a segment on Studio 5 with a few recipes and knew immediately that I had to find an excuse to try them out...}

Avocado Citrus Salsa
{ingredients}
2 medium oranges, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1 large ripe avocado, peeled, seeded, and chopped
¼ cup chopped red onion
¼ cup snipped cilantro
2 tablespoons lime juice
½ teaspoon bottled hot pepper sauce
¼ teaspoon salt


{directions}

In large bowl combine all ingredients. {make sure you do the avocados last, and try to mix as little as possible. you want the chunks to stay chunky...}
Cover and refrigerate 2 hours before serving. {if you are not going to serve it right away, you will want to chill it. But if you want to serve it right away, it will be more than fine.}

{Makes about 2 ½ cups.}
