Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium avocado
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 0.25 medium red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and dice the flesh into bite-sized pieces. Place the diced avocado into a large mixing bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, or quarter them if they are large, and add them to the bowl with the avocado.
Peel and dice the cucumber into small cubes, and add it to the bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion into half-moons, and soak them in cold water for 5 minutes to reduce the sharpness. Drain and add the onion to the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the avocado mixture and gently toss the salad to coat all ingredients evenly, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves roughly and sprinkle them over the salad before serving.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lime juice as desired. Serve immediately as a refreshing side or light lunch.
