Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Avocado
- 2 large Lime
- 1 cup (diced seeded) Roma Tomatoes
- 1 large (seeded and diced) Red Bell Pepper
- 1 large (seeded and diced) Yellow Bell Pepper
- 1 (seeded and minced) Jalapeño Pepper
- 1 cup (diced) Red Onion
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh Cilantro
- 1 clove (minced) Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 0.25 cup (extra virgin) Olive Oil
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the seeds, and use a knife to score the flesh into cubes. Scoop the avocado cubes out with a spoon and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Cut the limes in half and squeeze the juice over the avocado cubes to prevent browning. Gently toss to coat.
Add the diced roma tomatoes, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, minced jalapeño pepper, and diced red onion to the bowl.
Sprinkle in the chopped cilantro and minced garlic.
Season the mixture with cumin, kosher salt, and black pepper. Pour in the olive oil.
Gently mix all ingredients together, being careful not to smash the avocado too much—aim for a chunky texture.
Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving.
