Chilled Avocado & Feta Cheese Salsa

This is another summer-time favorite.  It came to me by way of a friend at a party, and we all could not get enough of it.  Fresh garlic and cilantro, sweet tomatoes and creamy avocado.  It was served with pita chips on the side, but I have since  enjoyed it  with pretzel and  tortilla chips and my new favorite, rice crackers.   The rice crackers make it a dish to be enjoyed by those that are gluten-free.  I found these amazing crackers,  even my kids,  love at Costco (see description below). I have also tried Wasabi rice crackers.
