Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe avocados
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 small red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 large lime
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the ingredients. Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large bowl. Use a fork to gently mash some of the avocado, leaving some chunks for texture.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the bowl with the avocado.
Peel the cucumber, cut it lengthwise, remove the seeds, and then slice it into thin half-moons. Add the cucumber to the avocado and tomatoes.
Finely chop the red onion and fresh cilantro leaves. Add them to the bowl.
Juice the lime and pour the juice over the salad ingredients.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the salad, and then sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Using a large spoon, gently toss the salad until all ingredients are well combined and the avocado is evenly distributed.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve the avocado salad immediately for the freshest flavor.
