My Go-To Salsa and Guacamole

Print Friendly and PDF


I've posted a recipe of each before, however, this salsa and guacamole are the recipes that I make very regularly.  They are perfect food for serving when entertaining or bring along when going to watch the game at a friend's house.   It's also great to have this in the fridge for your daily chips and dip snacks!

These can also be integrated in other recipes: one of my favourites, a bowl of brown rice with black beans, topped with this fresh salsa.  I love a brown rice cake topped with salsa and guacamole!  Perfect for candida cleanse and Wild Rose Herbal D-Tox.  For Paleo, use these as the toppings for your lettuce wrap tacos and fajitas!
