Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Radishes
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 1 large Lime
- 1 small Jalapeño pepper
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 handful Optional tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
Wash the radishes thoroughly under cold water, trim the ends, and thinly slice them into rounds. Place the slices in a large mixing bowl.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the seed and skin, and dice the flesh into bite-sized cubes. Add the diced avocado to the bowl with the radishes.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro. Measure about 1/2 cup and sprinkle it into the mixing bowl.
Peel and thinly slice half of a small red onion. Separate the slices into thin strands and add them to the salad mixture.
Deseed and finely dice the jalapeño, taking care to avoid contact with your eyes. Adjust the amount used based on your spice preference, then add to the bowl.
Juice a large lime into a small bowl, discarding any seeds. Add 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil to the lime juice and whisk together. Season the dressing with salt and black pepper.
Pour the lime and olive oil dressing over the salad ingredients. Gently toss the salad to coat all components evenly without mashing the avocado.
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if needed. If you'd like extra crunch, serve with a handful of tortilla chips on the side or crumble them over the salad for added texture.
Serve immediately as a light appetizer or side dish. Enjoy!
