Great flavour combination! I've made this many times and prefer using ripe, soft avocados as they blend in well to make a kind of creamy dressing.<br/><br/>I change the proportions to make a big batch - 3 avocados, 8 kiwis, seeds from 1 whole pomegranate, 1 whole jalapeno, 6 green onions, olive oil. I add the juice from 1 whole lemon, which really brightens up the flavour and makes the avocados creamier. I omit the cilantro. <br/><br/>This dip is a HUGE hit every time I serve it at a party!! -
This is a fantastic salsa!!! The flavours mix well and the subtle pairing of sweetness, spiciness with a tad of saltiness is outstanding. We will be making this again! Real pretty to look at, too. Made for 'Newest Zaar Tag'

I am a middle aged foodie who has had the luxury of living all over the world except asia. Lived in or grew up in Nigeria, Kenya, Chicago, Russia,and haiti. born in New Zealand, brother born in Austria and many more.
I have chronic medication resistant depression after 10 years on anti depressants that worked well but would stop working after a year or two, so now do my best at home living on disabilty. Not a bad thing, many have far worse health issues but i have been able to concentrate on food/cooking.
My main passions are my cats. I live in the woods and somehow many starving strays or "dumps" have found the message babies who passed on left in the woods saying "suck lives at xxxx road. Most arrive sick and/or starving. Right now i have 2 that arrived with feline herpes and their attendant 2ndry bacterial infections but are doing beautifully. One old man who was going to be euthanized bc a lady who found him as a stray was moving and didnt want him...well he was a biter and rather grumpy who was in ICU for 3 days with a deadly gut infection which was fixed but he left with a diagnosis of diabetes. 3 months on insulin and finally diet controlled and he caught the herpes virus, respiratory symptom version and turned into a cuddler. Butterscotch must think "why didnt i figure out this cuddle stuff was great before i got sick!" Doing wonderfully even though he has bouts. he and the other kids are my babies. Sadly Butterscotch died of Lymphatic cancer in winter of 2008. A year before Big Boy arrived in my life, starving and weak. Full of affection he jumped into my arms and stayed, turns out he has FIV (cat hiv) so he needs to be watched closely. I love him dearly
