Notes
- For a spicier kick, choose a salsa with more heat or add diced jalapeños to the veggie mixture.
- Serve this dip chilled or at room temperature for best flavor.
- Pair with tortilla chips, pita chips, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
- To keep avocados fresh and prevent browning, prepare the dip just before serving or squeeze additional lime juice over the avocado pieces.
- This recipe is vegetarian and can be made gluten-free by ensuring the salsa and mayonnaise are gluten-free.
