Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 250 grams cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Dice the avocado into bite-sized cubes and place in a large mixing bowl.
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and halve them. Add the halved tomatoes to the bowl with the avocado.
Peel and finely dice the red onion. Add it to the bowl with the avocado and tomatoes.
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves finely and sprinkle them over the salad ingredients in the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lime juice, sea salt, and black pepper to form the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to combine, taking care not to mash the avocado.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice, if desired.
Serve immediately as a side dish or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving for a slightly chilled salad.
