- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 whole jalapeño
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Mash gently with a fork, leaving it slightly chunky.
Dice the roma tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the mashed avocados.
Finely chop half of the red onion and toss it into the mixture.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro leaves and stir them into the salsa.
Remove the seeds from the jalapeño (if you prefer less heat) and finely dice it. Add it to the bowl.

Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving.
