Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Avocado
- 1 large English cucumber
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Start by preparing the ingredients: peel and pit the avocados, then chop them into bite-sized cubes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the cucumber if desired, slice it lengthwise, scoop out the seeds with a spoon, and then slice it into half-moon pieces. Add these to the mixing bowl with the avocados.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion to fill 1/4 cup and add it to the bowl.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the salad mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, black pepper, and garlic powder to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the avocado, cucumber, tomato, onion, and cilantro mixture and gently toss to combine, ensuring the avocado doesn't get mashed.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary (keeping it low sodium by avoiding additional salt).
Let the salad rest for about 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour.
