This is a straightforward salsa that checks all the practical boxes for a Charlotte weeknight: every ingredient is a staple at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, or ALDI, with no specialty stops required. At roughly $8-10 for five servings (driven by avocado cost, which fluctuates), it lands well under $2 per serving and will come together in under 10 minutes of actual chopping and mixing—the stated 70 minutes is wildly padded, likely assuming unnecessary chilling or cooling time that most cooks would skip. It reheats poorly due to the avocado, but it's designed as a same-day condiment to accompany proteins or chips, which is how most households use it. The only slight friction is that avocado ripeness is unpredictable and the window to use it before browning is narrow, which adds a small planning burden to a weeknight.
