Notes
The flavor of this dip will vary depending on the salsa you use. I prefer a fresh variety over canned.
For a spicier dip, use a fiery hot sauce and hot salsa.
If you prefer a smoother dip, place the avocado in a blender or food processor and pulse your machine until you reach a smooth consistency.
If you want a thinner dip, add in a bit more sour cream.
