Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes

- 1 whole jalapeño pepper
- 1 whole lime
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Begin by cutting the ripe avocados in half, removing the pits, and scooping the flesh into a large mixing bowl. Using a fork, gently mash the avocado to your preferred consistency.
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and slice them in half. Add them to the bowl with the avocado.
Finely dice the red onion and add it to the bowl.
Roughly chop the cilantro leaves, ensuring you have removed any thick stems, and add to the mixture.
For some heat, finely dice the jalapeño pepper. Be sure to remove the seeds if you prefer less spice. Add into the salad mix.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the mixture. Catch any seeds that may fall.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the ingredients in the bowl.
Season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste.
Gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
Chop the romaine lettuce leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them on a large serving platter or individual salad plates.
Spoon the guacamole mixture over the bed of lettuce evenly distributed.
Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or a light meal.
