Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Avocados
- 1 medium Tomato
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves
- 1 small Jalapeño (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl.
Finely dice the tomato and add it to the bowl.
Chop the red onion into small pieces and add it to the bowl.
Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and stir them into the mixture.
If using the jalapeño, finely dice it (remove the seeds for less heat) and add it to the bowl.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture to enhance the tangy flavor and prevent the avocado from browning.
Sprinkle salt into the bowl and drizzle with olive oil for a smooth finish.
Gently mash the mixture using a fork or potato masher, leaving it as chunky or smooth as you prefer.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more lime juice or salt according to your preference.
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
