The story of this radish and avocado salsa begins in the bustling markets of Mexico City. It was there that I first tasted this delicious condiment, and I was immediately hooked. The combination of radishes, avocado, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice was so refreshing and flavorful, and it perfectly complemented the tacos and burritos that I was eating. I knew that I had to recreate this salsa at home, and I've been making it ever since. Over the years, I've tweaked the recipe slightly to make it my own, but the basic ingredients remain the same. This salsa is now a staple in my kitchen, and I use it to top everything from tacos to burritos to salads. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
