Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe avocados
- 2 pieces ripe tomatoes
- 1 piece small red onion
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 piece jalapeño pepper
- 1 piece lime
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise. Remove the pits and scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl.
Dice the ripe tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the avocado.
Finely chop the red onion and cilantro, then add both to the bowl.
If you prefer a milder salsa, remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeño before finely chopping it. Otherwise, chop the whole jalapeño and add it to the mix.
Peel and mince the garlic clove, then add it to the bowl.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the avocado mixture.
Season with salt and black pepper according to taste.
Gently toss all the ingredients together, being careful not to mash the avocado too much. Aim for a chunky texture.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper to suit your preference.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos or grilled meats. Enjoy your fresh, homemade avocado salsa!
