This famous salsa is one where you and your guests will be standing over it and wondering how it’s so good. Teedo’s famous salsa is loaded with flavor from the fire-roasted tomatoes, garlic, lime, seasonings, fresh herbs, and avocados. Easy and delicious!
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.
Variations
- Desire even more heat? Add in some jalapeños (with or without the seeds, depending on your desired heat levels)!
- Substitute canned tomatoes for fresh, seasonal tomatoes. Use the same weight amount.
What to Serve with Salsa
- Obviously you have to serve this salsa with tortilla chips or pita chips!
- Make a dip bar that includes this salsa, guacamole, salsa verde, kopanisti, and more!
- If you’ve got leftovers and fear they’ll go bad soon, use this salsa in this crockpot salsa chicken recipe. It only needs 3 ingredients and salsa is one of them!

Store in an airtight container or a glass mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

This seriously looks like the best salsa I have seen in such a long time. I am very excited to try it! (great timing with the superbowl this weekend!)
Oh yeah, avocado IN the salsa. I’m sold!
Yum- perfect for the superbowl!
The avocado is brilliant! This looks soooo tasty!
YUM!! Sounds fantastic. I love that this includes avocado. Definitely must make this! :)
Okay I’m going to try it!!!!
LOVING the avocado in this. Definitely going to try this as we eat a ton of salsa- it’s my downfall! Hope you had a great weekend and look forward to all the Super Bowl grub this week!
Yummy!! I have never thought of putting avocado in salsa but this sounds to die for. I’m having a little party on Sunday so I look forward to all your recipes this week! :)
YES! I totally obsessed over your turkey day series, and I’m excited that you are cooking up another.
And anything referred to as “THE” salsa cannot be anything short of fabulously addictive. We are salsa fiends around here, and I don’t make it from scratch enough. Changing that today!
This looks great! Gotta love a good salsa recipe, and if it’s from PIcky Palate, you know it’s good :)
