Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Avocados
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 medium Jalapeño pepper
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
- 1 large Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and dice the flesh. Transfer the diced avocado into a large mixing bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the avocado.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl.
For a mild salsa, remove the seeds from the jalapeño before mincing; for spicier heat, leave some seeds in. Add the minced jalapeño to the bowl.
Chop the cilantro finely and add it to the mixture.
Squeeze the juice from the lime over the ingredients in the bowl.
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the mixture.
Drizzle with olive oil.
Gently toss all ingredients together until well combined, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lime juice, or pepper to taste.
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours for the flavors to meld. Serve as a topping or with low-carb chips.
