Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 small Jalapeño pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by washing all the vegetables and herbs thoroughly under cold running water.
Dice the cherry tomatoes into small, quarter-inch pieces and add them to a large mixing bowl.
Core and dice the red and green bell peppers into bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl.
Peel, pit, and chop the avocado into small cubes and add to the mixture.
Finely dice the red onion and jalapeño pepper. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño before dicing.
Chop the fresh cilantro finely and add it to the mixture.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the caviar ingredients in the large bowl.
Gently toss everything together with a large spoon, ensuring that all ingredients are coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary—more salt, lime, or pepper depending on your preference.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for an hour to allow the flavors to meld even more.
