How to make avocado salsa (chunky avocado dip):
- Everything you need is already cut up and ready to go. All you have to do is mix them by hand in a bowl. For this dip, I don’t think you should use a mixer or food processor. You want this to be more chunky, like salsa, even though it’s perfectly creamy. To get the best texture and taste, mix the ingredients with a wooden spoon:
- In a big bowl, mix the avocado dip items together.Put the oranges, chopped red onions, chopped cilantro, mint, walnuts, and chunks of avocado in a bowl.

- Add spices and mix slowly.If you like your food a little spicy, add kosher salt, black pepper, sumac, and cayenne. Add In a big bowl, mix together the walnuts, oranges, avocado, red onions, fresh herbs, and avocado. Add salt, pepper, sumac, and a pinch of chili to taste. Add a good splash of extra virgin olive oil and the juice of one lime. Use a wooden spoon to slowly mix everything together.
- Finish up and serve.Place the dip in a bowl and top it with 1 tablespoon of chopped feta. If you want to make it vegan, you can leave out the feta. Choose your favorite chips or snacks to go with it.
Tips
- Anyone who has eaten avocados knows that the bright green meat quickly goes brown after being cut open. This is why you should leave the avocados whole until you are ready to serve this dip if you want to make it ahead of time.
- Prepare or chop the rest of the ingredients and put them in the bowl. Put the bowl in the fridge. Do not mix the ingredients yet. Season the avocado chunks with salt, lime juice, and olive oil when you’re ready to serve. Mix it up and serve it right away.
FAQ
How long will this avocado salsa (or dip) keep?
This salsa is best enjoyed immediately, but if you have any left, you can store it in a tight-lid glass container in the fridge for 1 to 2 nights. You may need to scrape off any browned parts before serving again. Ultimately, if you notice a substantial puddle of brown liquid, it is time to throw it out.
