Steps:
- Halve and pit the avocados. Set aside half an avocado for the salsa. Put the remaining avocado flesh in a blender with the buttermilk, yogurt, cilantro, garlic, chile, and cumin. Blend until smooth. Taste and add more chile if desired, and then blend again. Transfer to a bowl and stir in enough cold water to thin the soup to a pleasing consistency, about 1/2 cup. Stir in the lime juice, or more to taste, and season with salt. Chill thoroughly.
- Just before serving, prepare the salsa: In a bowl, stir together the tomato, onion, cilantro, chile, and garlic. Cut the reserved avocado half into 1/4-inch dice and fold it in gently, and then season to taste with salt and lime juice and stir again gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
- If the soup has thickened in the refrigerator, whisk in ice water to thin it to the desired consistency. Taste for seasoning. Divide among 6 bowls. Top each serving with a spoonful of salsa and serve.

AVOCADO TOMATO AND OLIVE SALSA
This is a HEARTY and oh-so-delicious salsa/salad/dip (I can not really decide what to consider it). Great on tortilla chips or right off of a spoon!! It's a good idea to soak your diced avacados briefly in a little lemon juice right after prepping to help retain the nice color...

STEAK TACOS WITH AVOCADO AND CHARRED TOMATO SALSA
Steps:
- 1. Place tomatoes and chili on a roasting tray and set under the broiler. Roast, turning once, until charred all over, about 12 minutes total. Place charred tomatoes and chili in a food processor and pulse until a coarse salsa forms, about 1 minute. Season with salt to taste. Set aside. 2. Season steak with salt. Set a grill pan over high heat. Once pan is very hot, swirl in oil. Lay in steak and sear until charred and medium rare, 3-5 minutes per side. Remove steak from heat and set aside. 3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, toss onions with cilantro and a pinch of salt. In another small bowl, make guacamole: Mash avocado with a fork. Season to taste with juice from a few lime wedges and salt. 4. Set a stovetop burner to high. Using tongs, hold each tortilla over burner until soft and charred in spots, less than 1 minute per side. Slice steak thinly against the grain. 5. Smear guacamole over tortillas. Top with sliced steak and onion-cilantro mixture. Serve with salsa and remaining lime wedges on the side.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will ensure that your salsa is packed with flavor. If you can, use heirloom tomatoes for the best flavor.
- Use fresh, ripe avocados. Avocados should be slightly soft to the touch, but not mushy. If your avocados are too hard, they will not be as creamy in the salsa.
- Use a variety of onions. Red onions, white onions, and yellow onions all have different flavors, so using a combination of them will give your salsa more depth of flavor.
- Don't over-chop the ingredients. You want the salsa to have some texture, so don't chop the ingredients too finely.
- Season the salsa to taste. Start with a little bit of salt and pepper, and then add more to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lime juice or a pinch of chili powder.
- Serve the salsa immediately. Salsa is best when it's fresh, so serve it immediately after making it. You can also store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Tomato and avocado salsa is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's perfect for dipping chips, topping tacos, or adding to burritos. It's also a great way to use up ripe tomatoes and avocados. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer or snack, give this tomato and avocado salsa a try.
