05 Mar Produce Recipe of the Week: Blood Orange Avocado Salsa

On sale this week (3/4-3/10): Organic Blood Oranges 4 for $5 & Organic Avocados 4 for $5!

When people first see this recipe, they think “wow, that’s definitely… different.” But let me tell you, this is one of the best homemade salsas that I have ever had. It’s refreshing yet it still gives a nice kick. Not only does it taste good to dip with tortilla chips, but it even tastes great in salmon tacos (and thankfully for you, we have fresh salmon in store). It’s a perfect reminder of what summer tastes like!
