Avocado Fruit Salsa

Here's one the whole family enjoys.  This is my boy's favorite way to eat avocado.

Avocado Fruit Salsa
1 small avocado
1 peach
1/4 cup cut Mango (I didn't have any but I bet it'd be delish)
1/2 banana
Lemon juice
Lime juice

Combine cubed avocado, peach, and mango in a bowl.  In another bowl mash 1/2 a banana and add lemon juice and lime juice (a bit less than you would use for yourself).  Pour the banana mixture over the cubed fruit like a glaze.  Mash LIGHTLY* with a potato masher.  Serve either as a sticky finger food or spoon feed.

*The way you serve this will determine how mashed you make it.  If your baby won't eat chunks off a spoon and you need to feed it as a finger food, keep the cubes mostly in tact.  If your baby will eat this off a spoon, you can mash more thoroughly, but it should be far from a puree.


My husband and I ate this with chips and LOVED it!  It's a good mild salsa.  Feel free to add more lemon, lime, and jarred mango salsa to it for you!


Tip:  If this flavor is too strong a flavor for your baby, try using baked apple instead of the mango and less lemon & lime.
