You may be wondering who the heck ‘Teedo’ is. This recipe comes to you from Jenny Flake (Picky Palate) and her cookbook, The Picky Palate Cookbook. She calls her father ‘Teedo’ and this is his recipe!

This salsa’s got your standard tomatoes, garnishes, and seasonings, but what really intrigued me about this recipe was the AVOCADOS. I didn’t really get it until I made it. The avocados really make a difference. It makes it so creamy. I changed up the tomatoes a bit by using fire-roasted tomatoes because I like the roasted char taste you get throughout the salsa and it gives the salsa a more depth of flavor.

What to Serve with Salsa
