Begin by halving and pitting the avocados. Use a spoon to scoop the avocado flesh from the peel and then cut it into bite-sized cubes.
Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes. If you prefer smaller pieces, you can quarter them instead.
Peel and finely chop the red onion half. Make sure you dice the onion into small pieces to integrate well into the salad.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro leaves. You can add more or less to adjust to your taste preference.
Peel and mince the garlic clove. Ensure the garlic is finely chopped to distribute evenly throughout the salad.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the avocado cubes, cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, cilantro, and minced garlic.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice and olive oil. Pour this dressing over the salad ingredients.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the salad and gently toss all the ingredients together until well mixed. Be careful not to mash the avocado too much.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving to let the flavors meld if desired. This salad is best enjoyed fresh.
