Start by washing the cherry tomatoes under cold running water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Finely chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the salad mixture.
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the ingredients in the bowl, ensuring to catch any seeds.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the salad.
Season the salad with salt and black pepper.
Using salad tongs or two large spoons, gently toss all the ingredients together, making sure the avocado and tomatoes are evenly coated with lemon juice and olive oil.
