Avocado Chili Relish

This is a great topping for grilled hot dogs (which is how we ate it) but would also make a great dipper for tortilla chips.  Make lots because it will be gone in a flash!

Avocado Chili Relish (bhg.com)

2 T. extra virgin olive oil
2 T. fresh cilantro, chopped
2 medium jalapeno chiles, minced
2 small shallots or 4 green onions, finely chopped
2 T. freshly squeezed lime juice
1 c. diced tomatoes (I used grape tomatoes, quartered)
2 avocados, peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped
Salt and black pepper to taste

In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, cilantro, jalapenos, shallots or green onion and lime juice.  Gently fold in the tomatoes and avocados.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

I made this a few hours ahead of when we wanted to eat it to let the flavors meld.  I wouldn't make it too far ahead or the avocado will turn brown.
