    FAQs

    What are the best tomatoes to use?

    I love to use Roma tomatoes for this salsa, but you can use whatever ripe tomato you have on hand. Just be sure to seed the tomatoes before adding them to the salsa otherwise you end up with a watery mess.

    Can I make this ahead of time?

    I make the entire recipe ahead of time with the exception of the avocado and store in the refrigerator. Dice the avocado right before serving and add.

    Do I have to use fresh herbs?

    Fresh herbs are best, but I have made this plenty of times with dried herbs instead. Just use a teaspoon each of dried parsley and oregano in place of the fresh.

    Expert Tips for the Best Salsa

    ✘ Use an avocado that is a little firmer but still ripe. If it is too soft, the salsa will be mushy.

    ✘ Chunkier feta cheese holds up better in this dip than tiny crumbles.

    ✘ Give your red onion and herbs a really fine dice so each bite gets every flavor.

    ✘ Be sure to seed your tomatoes to avoid watery dip.
