Scale
Vegetables and Herbs
- 2 roma tomatoes (seeded and diced)
- 1 ripe avocado (peeled, pitted and diced)
- ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
Dressings and Cheese

Instructions
- Combine Fresh Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the diced roma tomatoes, peeled and diced avocado, and finely chopped red onion until evenly distributed.
- Add Herbs and Dressing: Gently stir in the minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, and fresh oregano. Pour in the olive oil and red or white wine vinegar, stirring carefully to keep the avocado pieces intact and maintain the salsa’s creamy texture.
- Incorporate Cheese and Serve: Finally, fold in the crumbled feta cheese delicately. Serve the salsa immediately with your choice of chips or crackers as a delicious appetizer or snack.
Notes
- To prevent avocado browning, prepare this salsa just before serving or sprinkle a little lemon juice over the avocado.
- For a spicier version, add chopped jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Feta cheese can be substituted with queso fresco or goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
- This salsa is best enjoyed fresh and should be consumed within a few hours if refrigerated.
