avocado salsa review
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Looking for another way to prepare avocado other than guacamole? Look no further because this recipe is delightful. Since I... was preparing the meal only for me and my husband, I modified the recipe a bit. I used only one avocado, substituted the tomato for 2 medium size plum tomatoes, and used one juiced lime. After tasting it, I think I could have done it with 1/2 of the lime juiced but either way, my husband and I ravaged through the entire serving until the bowl was empty!Read more

Excellent fish dish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Our family doesn't like fish, as a rule, but I would like to make one fish meal a week. So I've been looking for really good... fish recipes. This one was a real winner with us. The combination of the jerk sauce and the avocado salsa is wonderful in this recipe. Fresh ingredients and an excellent combination of complimentary flavors. How could you go wrong?Read more
