FAQs
The secret to preventing avocado salsa from going brown is the acid from the lemon juice. You can get similar results with lime juice, so if you notice it turning brown, you can try to mix in more of either of these juices.
Also, air oxidizes the avocado quickly. You’ll want to keep the salsa in an airtight container and only take out what you will use for the meal to help prevent the rest from browning.
Avocado salsa needs two things to store: an airtight container and the fridge. The airtight container helps to prevent browning, while the fridge helps to preserve the freshness of the salsa.
When we make this avocado salsa recipe, we can store it for about 1.5 to 2 weeks in the fridge in an airtight container. It keeps longer if you remove only what you need each time you use and immediately place it back in the container and fridge.
Guacamole is much thicker than avocado salsa.
Avocado salsa has more of a salsa verde consistency but with a pieces of avocado throughout it, offering a buttery contrast to the acidic salsa.
