Salsa de Palta | Peruvian Guacamole

Posted on
Chunky, fresh Salsa de Palta (aka Peruvian Guacamole) features all fresh ingredients – avocado, tomato, red onion, cilantro, lime juice – and contains NO mayonnaise or fillers. Paired with yuca fries, meatballs, or slathered on Peruvian eggs benedict, there is no guacamole that compares IMHO.😉 👩🏻‍🍳 Tamara Talks – About Salsa…
