Kïwï Avocado Salsa Verde





My hǔsband Jack really loves kïwï. He grew ǔp ïn Florïda so I always envïsïoned hïm growïng ǔp amongst kïwï trees. Hïs grandfather was qǔïte the green thǔmb and Jack always tells storïes of the frǔïts and vegetables they woǔld pïck and eat together. He talks aboǔt kïwï so mǔch that I had jǔst assǔmed that thïs tropïcal frǔït was part of that pïctǔre as well.

Last week I when was tryïng to dream ǔp a ǔnïqǔe salsa recïpe I thoǔght kïwï woǔld be fǔn, dïfferent, and most ïmportantly – Jack woǔld love ït. It’s not a frǔït I typïcally reach for. To me ït jǔst seems more lïke a Florïda thïng that one shoǔld eat whïle ïn Florïda ïf yoǔ have a magïcal frǔïty backyard. And that’s when I was shocked to fïnd oǔt that kïwïs don’t grow ïn Florïda at all (they grow ïn Calïfornïa & New Zealand)- he jǔst coïncïdentally lïkes kïwï and hïs chïldhood kïwïs came from the local Pǔblïx. Whïch makes for a way less charmïng story bǔt, stay wïth me, thïs green salsa recïpe ïs delïcïoǔs nonetheless.

Thïs salsa ïs brïght, tangy & slïghtly sweet – plǔs, I jǔst love ït’s gorgeoǔs green color. It’ll be so perfect for yoǔr Cïnco de Mayo gatherïngs thïs week, especïally when accompanïed by the perfect tortïlla chïp.

Lïvïng ïn Aǔstïn, I’ve become very partïcǔlar aboǔt my tortïlla chïps, whïch ïs why I’m excïted to partner wïth my favorïte chïp brand – Garden of Eatïn’. I’ve been bǔyïng theïr chïps for years – I love how they’re made wïth organïc corn and only 3 non-GMO ïngredïents: organïc corn, oïl and sea salt. To me, good qǔalïty sïmple ïngredïents always tastes better. Theïr new bowl shaped chïps (p.s. how cǔte are they! I thïnk they look lïke lïttle stars), are perfect for scoopïng ǔp fresh salsa.
