Start by preparing the tomatoes. Wash 3 large fresh tomatoes thoroughly and then dice them into small cubes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and pit 1 medium avocado and cut it into small cubes as well. Add the avocado to the mixing bowl with the diced tomatoes.
Finely dice 1/4 cup of red onion and add it to the bowl. This will give the dip a nice crunch and a hint of sharpness.
Chop 1 clove of garlic finely and add it to the mix. Garlic adds flavor depth to the dip.
Wash and roughly chop 1/2 cup of fresh basil leaves. Add them to the bowl for a fragrant and herbaceous flavor.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
Pour the lemon and olive oil dressing over the tomato mixture and gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined.
Let the dip sit for at least 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately with low-carb keto-friendly crackers, or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
