Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large avocado
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 small jalapeño pepper
- 1 large lime
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Gently dice the avocado into small cubes.
Finely chop the red onion to measure 1/4 cup and add it to the bowl with the avocado.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl, ensuring that they are nicely distributed.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro leaves to make about 1/4 cup and toss them into the bowl.
Carefully remove the seeds from the jalapeño pepper for less heat, or keep them if you prefer spicy. Finely dice the pepper and add it to the mixture.
Roll the lime under your palm on the counter to get the juices flowing. Cut it in half and squeeze the juice from both halves over the salsa ingredients.
Sprinkle the sea salt and black pepper over the mixture, then gently toss everything together to combine the flavors without mashing the avocado.
Let the salsa sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving it fresh as a topping or dip.
