Comments: Sometimes I substitute commercial salsa for the tomato and hot sauce. I serve this often with broiled fish.
12/10/2015 - I planned to make a smaller batch with 1/2 avocado, but used the full amount of onion, tomato, and spice.
9/9/2018 - I made without the salsa, using one avocado, half a sweet onion, half a tomato, a teaspoon of hot sauce, and 2 teaspoons of lime juice. It seemed sweeter than usual.
3/25/2019 - Three thin slices of red onion made 2/3 of a cup. I mixed the onion, lime juice, and 2 tablespoons of salsa in advance of cutting the avocado to avoid congestion at the end.
3/25/2019 - I used green salsa and the juice of one lime. It tasted somewhat limey.
8/21/2020 - The avocado wasn’t quite ripe so it took a long time to mash. I used 4 tablespoons of salsa.
4/2/2022 - I used one avocado, 1/2 onion, 2 tablespoons of salsa, and some juice squeezed from 1/4 lemon.
5/20/2023 - I used one avocado, about 1/4 red onion, 2 tablespoons of salsa, and 2 teaspoons of lime juice.
