Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 red onion
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 jalapeño pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing your ingredients: Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and carefully scoop out the flesh with a spoon, then cut it into bite-sized cubes.
Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Peel and finely slice the red onion.
Wash the cilantro, pat it dry, and chop it coarsely.
For the dressing, cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice into a small bowl, making sure to remove any seeds.
Finely dice the jalapeño pepper, removing seeds if you prefer a milder taste, and add it to the lime juice.
Whisk in the olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper into the lime and jalapeño mixture until combined.
In a large bowl, combine the avocado cubes, cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, being careful not to mash the avocados.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve immediately or chill for 15 minutes before serving for a colder salad.
