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.

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.

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'
