Spicy Strawberry and Goat Cheese Salsa

This salsa is what happens when you cut open what feels like a perfectly ripe avocado and find… well, not a perfectly ripe avocado.

A perfectly ripe avocado isn’t grey inside.

Dinner was supposed to be a fantastically delicious repeat of Salmon with Strawberry-Avocado Salsa. Studies have shown that you can’t have “fantastically delicious” with a grey avocado.

If I were more organized, I could have remembered exactly how many days before I’d brought the salmon home – 3? 4? the package doesn’t stink, so surely it was this week. I could have justified throwing in the towel and dragging everyone out for dinner. But that required eyeliner and lip gloss and a 3.5 year old with a clean face and 2 matching shoes.

Sometimes grey avocados aren’t the toughest battles to fight at the end of a long, whine (not a typo)-filled day. There are just some battles that are far, far too exhausting to fight.

Spicy Strawberry & Goat Cheese Salsa

It’s days like those that I’m thankful for the forgotten half log of goat cheese shoved into the back of a fridge drawer.

Which is always far easier to find than that matching shoe.

  • You had me dying for this post Shawnda. Did you find the other shoe and this spicy strawberry & goat salsa is a MUST!! YUM!

  • Grey avocadoes are the WORST. And the most awful part is that you can’t tell until you cut them open even if they look beautiful on the outside.

    This salsa? Amazing. Strawberries and goat cheese are one of my favorites.

  • I love the goat cheese in this – I bet it’s so creamy!
