Recipe Description:
2010 Kick Off with Hass Avocados Recipe Contest – Runner-Up Winner.
Recipe Courtesy of Elizabeth from West Jordan, UT, who says, “Any football fan knows that good food can *ALMOST* make or break the game. It is common to see some sort of salsa served as a viewing party or tailgate condiment. This avocado/corn relish is a great alternative to the traditional salsa and a delicious way to warm up any tailgate party with the relish prepared in advance. In this particular recipe I serve it over my sweet and spicy salmon.”
