Start by preparing the ingredients. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Chop the avocado into bite-sized pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.
Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Add them to the bowl with the avocados.
Peel the red onion and slice it thinly. Add the onion slices to the salad.
Wash the cilantro leaves thoroughly, pat them dry, and roughly chop them. Add to the bowl.
Roll the lime on the counter to loosen the juices, then cut it in half and squeeze the juice over the salad.
Pour the extra virgin olive oil over the ingredients in the bowl.
Season with salt and black pepper.
Gently toss all the ingredients together using a large spoon or salad tongs, making sure the avocado pieces are not mashed.
Once everything is evenly mixed, the salad is ready to serve. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy immediately.
