    Avocado Orange Salsa

    Updated: Jul 21, 2023 by Veronica Noone · This post may contain affiliate links · 9 Comments

    Yesterday for lunch I wanted something fun, and tasty and, well, "summery."

    I happen to have a bunch of clementines so that's where I started.

    Oranges are fun and tasty and summery. Right?

    Now, to make them into a meal.

    Hmmmm

    Thankfully because of this "Little Guy" I have something on hand I never really ate regularly before…

    Yup, those be avocado chunks and he has always loved them!

    I have grown to.

    So I sat there with half an avocado and an my orange thinking, why not?

    I combined them with a few other ingredients I had on hand and came up with a tasty salsa that could be used for pretty much anything. I ended up with tacos.

    Here's what I did and how I used it….

    Ingredients

    • ½ avocado chopped
    • 1 small tomato chopped (first one from the farm!)
    • 1 small orange or clementine chopped
    • 1 scallion chopped with stem (mine was a purple one)
    • About 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves
    • About 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
    • 1 tablespoon lime juice
    • pinch of salt
    • 1 teaspoon green chili sauce

    Instructions

    Put all the ingredients in a bowl.

    and toss.

    This is the green chili sauce I use.

    LOVE it. Less harsh than the red.

    Let everything sit for at least a few minutes and marvel at what you can make with NO COOKING involved.

    For my lunch I made quick tacos using lettuce, a handful of pinto beans, a scoop of the Avocado Orange Salsa and a sprinkle of fancy shredded Mexican cheese blend.

    They were amazing!

      Shut the front door... I seriously just bought some avocados AND clementines two days ago! This just might have to be my lunch today with a few modifications since I don't have any mint or parsley on hand. Thanks!

      I don't know, didn't eat it that way. I liked them chilled. If you are worried about it, melt the cheese then add the avocado. That should work.

      Quick question: did you heat the tacos before eating them? I would want the cheese melted, but does the salsa come out nicely when it's warm?
