Chilean Fruit Salsa

Provided by: Chileanavocados.org

Take advantage of the winter bounty of fruits from Chile (it's summer down there) and combine Chilean Hass Avocados with peaches and grapes. Use firm-ripe avocados so you'll have individual avocado chunks for salsa, or select soft-ripe avocados and mash them a bit to create a fruited guacamole. Serve either version with fresh vegetable dippers, toasted pita chips, vegetable chips or over grilled fish, chicken or burgers. The salsa/guacamole also makes a nice centerpiece for a fruit plate.

Avocados are another favorite from South America and found in the pyramid. Serve this as a side, a salad or a main dish.
