Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Yield: 4 cups

Ingredients

• 2 ripe avocados
• 1 yellow bell pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped
• 1 roma tomato
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 jalapeño pepper (optional, for added heat)
• 1 small red onion (optional, for additional flavor)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Avocados: Begin by cutting the avocados in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the pit and peel the skin from three of the avocado halves. Slice the peeled avocados into ½-inch thick slices. For an added depth of flavor, leave the skin on one of the avocado halves and slice it as well. Place all the avocado slices, including the one with the skin, onto a hot grill.

2. Grill the Vegetables: Grill the avocado slices along with the yellow bell pepper until they develop nice, dark grill marks. If using, add the small red onion and jalapeño pepper to the grill as well. Cook the vegetables until tender and slightly charred.

3. Sweat the Peppers: Once grilled, place the bell pepper into a bowl and cover it with a damp towel, or place it in a plastic bag. This will help steam and loosen the pepper’s skin, making it easier to peel.

4. Mash the Avocados: Scoop the flesh from the avocado halves (including the one with the skin) into a mixing bowl. Add the lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Use a fork to mash the ingredients together, creating a chunky guacamole-like texture.

5. Prepare the Other Ingredients: Peel and discard the skin from the grilled bell pepper. Dice the bell pepper, roma tomato, and optionally, the grilled red onion, into ½-inch pieces. Gently fold these diced vegetables into the mashed avocado mixture. If you prefer a spicier salsa, finely chop the grilled jalapeño and add it to the mix.

6. Season to Taste: Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

7. Serve: Transfer the Grilled Avocado Salsa to a serving dish and enjoy it at room temperature. This salsa pairs wonderfully with tortilla chips, grilled meats, or as a topping for tacos and salads.
