Colombian Avocado Salsa is a traditional Colombian dip that is commonly served as a side dish or an appetizer. The combination of fresh and creamy avocados, ripe tomatoes, sweet white onion, and fresh cilantro make for a delicious and nourishing snack. The addition of aja dulce and habaneros provide a spicy kick, perfect for those who enjoy a bit of heat in their food. This salsa can be enjoyed on its own as a dip with tortilla chips or as a topping on grilled meats, fish, or vegetables.

Instructions

1.	In a bowl, mix together chopped aja dulce and habaneros with white vinegar.
2.	Add chopped hard-boiled eggs, coarsely mashed avocados, chopped ripe tomatoes, sweet white onion, and fresh cilantro.
3.	Mix everything together well, but make sure not to over-mix since the salsa should retain its chunky texture. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
