Hot, cool, sweet, spicy - a new way with avocado

My daughter’s boyfriend’s family sent over a fresh-from-the-tree avocado (grown right here in Central Florida) the other day that was one of the most delicious fruits I’ve ever had. I sat down with a fork and a lime and just started eating it just like that.
It was huge, though, and when I had eaten my fill, there was still a lot left over so I decided to make something with the remaining piece that was larger than an average avocado. Guacamole is great, but there’s more to an avocado than guacamole. I settled on a great salsa that I can put into jars and save for later or give as gifts.
I dug through the refrigerator and grabbed a few things from the fruit bowl and baskets of veggies and came up with a spicy, tasty mix of things that makes a dip for your chips that is at once cool and hot, fruity and spicy.
It’s easy, tasty and oh, so good.
And, now, I have a gift I can send back to Jeff's family as well.
