Ingredients
- 2 Avocados
- 200 g Cherry Tomatoes
- 0.5 Red Onion
- 1 Cucumber
- 20 g Fresh Cilantro
- 1 Lime
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the ingredients. Halve the cherry tomatoes and set them aside.
Peel the cucumber and cut it lengthwise. Remove the seeds with a spoon to reduce excess moisture, then chop it into small cubes.
Finely dice the red onion and chop the fresh cilantro roughly.
Carefully halve the avocados and remove the pits. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh and cut it into bite-sized cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, cilantro, and avocado.
Squeeze the juice of the lime over the salad mixture. Add the olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Gently toss the salad to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated with the lime and oil dressing. Be cautious not to mash the avocado.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the salad immediately for the best taste and texture.
