Chunky Avocado Salsa

Salsa and Dorritos was my favorite snack during my earlier days in US. Every week when we would go for grocery, we would make sure to buy salsa and chips. But after sometime, I lost crave and also realized store bought salsa is full of vinegar and preservatives. So using avocado I tried making it home and now I think it’s up to the mark to share recipe on my blog.
