Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes; place them in a large mixing bowl.
Dice the bell pepper and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Finely chop half a medium red onion and add it to the mix.
Peel, pit, and dice the avocado, then stir into the bowl.
Carefully remove seeds from the jalapeño, mince it, and add to the other ingredients. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling the jalapeño.
Chop the cilantro leaves, discarding the stems, and add to the bowl.
Juice the lime and pour the juice into a small bowl along with the olive oil and apple cider vinegar. Whisk well to combine.
Add the garlic powder, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper to the lime mixture. Mix again to combine all dressing ingredients.
Drizzle the dressing over the chopped vegetables and gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary, serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for up to one hour for enhanced flavors.
