Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Avocado
- 2 medium Tomato
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 whole Jalapeño
- 0.5 cup Cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Begin by preparing your ingredients. Halve the avocados, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl. Roughly mash the avocado with a fork, leaving some small chunks for texture.
Dice the tomatoes and add them to the bowl. Make sure to remove excess seeds to prevent the salsa from becoming too watery.
Finely chop the red onion and cilantro, and add them both to the bowl.
For the jalapeño, first remove the seeds (unless additional heat is desired), then finely dice. Add to the salsa mixture.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle black pepper and garlic powder over the top.
Gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined, being careful not to over-mash the avocados.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. The lime juice and garlic powder should add enough flavor in place of salt.
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to an hour to let the flavors meld together.
