Avocado Feta Salsa

Ahh, summer. The time when all I feel like eating is light meals full of veggies and fruits. :)  One day, I was craving homemade salsa for dinner. All I wanted was a few options of sauces to dip some tortilla chips in. I looked up a few recipes and decided to share them here so that I remember them for future cravings.

This particular salsa was delicious! So good in fact, that my husband has been hinting that I should make it again....soon. :) This is not a problem to me! This recipe was easy to make and I loved it almost as much as him.

What I love: While I do wish this salsa looked prettier, the tasty blend of tomatoes, avocados, red wine vinegar, and feta cheese was an amazing combination that I have never had before! This unique blending of foods made it very addicting.

Ingredients:
*2-3 roma tomatoes, chopped and seeded
*2-3 avocados, peeled, pitted, and chopped
*1/4-1/2 red onion, diced
*1-3 cloves of garlic, minced
*1 handful of cilantro OR parsley OR some of both, chopped
*1 tbsp. olive oil
*1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
*4-6 ounces of feta cheese, crumbled
*tortilla chips

Directions:
1) In a bowl, gently stir the tomatoes, avocados, onion, and garlic. Add the cilantro/parsley and gently stir. Add the olive oil and vinegar and gently stir. Add the feta cheese and gently stir. Taste and add spices to preference. Chill in the refrigerator for 2-6 hours. Enjoy with tortilla chips!

Comments:
*I did a combo of both parsley and cilantro due to the hubby's aversion to cilantro. It was delicious. I leave it up to you to decide which you prefer or how you combine them. I bet it will taste good no matter what. :)
*After adding the liquids, I eyeballed the food and decided to add a bit more vinegar. Decide your preference for yourself. Again, I bet it will taste good no matter what.
*And of course, I added TONS of feta because I have a cheese-addiction problem. :) Again, I bet it will taste good no matter how much feta you use.
