Green Tomato and Avocado Salsa

Reader Contribution by Monica Sharrock

During the relaxed months of summer, I love nothing more than a refreshing dip. Easy-to-prepare fare is what I’m all about during the season of outdoor living. Perfect for the lake, a barbeque, or enjoying on the porch, this is a dip your family will love. This one makes use of green tomatoes that our garden is producing in abundance. Not quite ready to turn a delicious ripened red, the green tomato is tangy with a firmer texture. It is a garden jewel that should not be overlooked, as it is incredibly versatile. For this dip, I combined the green tomatoes with chopped avocado, purple onion, and cilantro. Fresh and vibrant, it is perfect with salty tortilla chips. So head out to the garden, pick a few green tomatoes, and try what I’m certain will become a summer staple in your household.

Ingredients

2 green tomatoes
1 avocado
½ cup diced purple onion
½ cup chopped cilantro
juice of 1 lemon
seasonings to taste (salt, pepper, garlic, and red pepper, if you like heat)
