Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Ripe avocado
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by cutting the avocado in half, remove the pit, and carefully scoop out the flesh using a spoon. Dice the avocado into bite-sized pieces and place them in a medium-sized salad bowl.
Thoroughly wash the cherry tomatoes, then cut them in half and add them to the bowl with the avocado.
Peel the cucumber and slice it in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds, then chop the cucumber into small cubes and add them to the bowl.
Peel the outer layer of the red onion and finely slice half of it. Add the sliced onion to the salad bowl.
Chop the fresh cilantro finely and sprinkle it over the salad ingredients in the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss everything together until the salad is well coated in the dressing.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if necessary.
Serve the salad immediately or chill it in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
