Avocado Salsa

This is a really simple recipe that is absolutely fabulous (Sorry that the picture isn't the best)! Especially when served with Lime flavored chips :) I forgot how much I missed avocado until a recent trip to Mexico. When I got home I HAD to make this :) Bonus, it's from Cooking Light...ENJOY!

You will need:

• 2 cups finely chopped onion
• 3/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper (1 small)
• 3 tablespoons finely chopped seeded jalapeño pepper
• 3 tablespoons extravirgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 large garlic clove, minced
• 1 1/2 cups chopped peeled avocado (about 2)
• 1/2 cups chopped seeded plum tomato (about 1 pound)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

(I recommend adding a little more vinegar ~1 Tablespoon or so and possibly a little more hot pepper sauce.)

Steps:

1) Combine first 9 ingredients in a large bowl; toss mixture gently. Cover and refrigerate 3 hours.

2) Stir in avocado and remaining ingredients just before serving.
