Avocado Feta Salsa

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This Avocado Feta Salsa is the perfect summer condiment. It pairs perfectly with just about any protein and comes together in minutes. Perfectly ripe avocados, juicy Roma tomatoes, tangy feta cheese, and a burst of Mediterranean flavors from artichoke hearts and capers. Tossed with lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Try it as an appetizer, a refreshing side, or pile it on top of a grilled protein.

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

Avocado: Use an avocado that is ripe, but still firm - it should give slightly when pressed, but not feel mushy.
Roma tomatoes: Roma tomatoes are my favorite to use for salsa, but you can also use diced cherry or grape tomatoes. Alternatively, try roasted red peppers in place of the tomatoes. Try this Tomato Confit Recipe.
Feta: If you don't have feta, you can also use goat cheese, cotija, or even queso fresco.
Red onion: For a milder bite, use shallots or green onions.
Artichoke hearts: If you don't have artichoke hearts, you could swap in some hearts of palm or even zucchini.
Capers: In place of the capers, you can also use chopped green olives or Kalamata olives.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cheese can I use in place of feta?

Goat cheese, queso fresco, cotija, halloumi, parmesan, and mozzarella are all great substitutions.

As written, it is not spicy. But to add a little kick, you can add some finely chopped jalapeño, crushed red pepper flakes, or hot sauce.

How do I keep avocado from browning?

The lime juice helps, but if you are storing the leftovers, press plastic wrap onto the surface of the salsa to minimize air exposure.
