Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Avocados
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Dice the avocados into bite-sized pieces.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half. If you are using larger tomatoes, chop them into similar-sized pieces as the avocado.
Thinly slice the red onion into half-moon-shaped slivers.
Chop the fresh parsley finely for garnish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the diced avocado, sliced cherry tomatoes, red onion, and parsley. Toss gently to mix, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently again to coat the ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately for best freshness or chill for 10–15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
