 Asian Avocado Salsa:

This twist on salsa is great if you love something with a little spice and crunch. The dip is ideal to serve at a dinner party with your parents and in-laws to be – and if you want to be extra healthy serve it with Mary’s Gone Crackers (a rice and sesame gluten free cracker) instead of tortilla chips.
