Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 0.5 whole lemon
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the avocados to prevent oxidation and add a tangy flavor.
Finely dice the red onion and chop the fresh cilantro leaves, then add them to the bowl with the avocados.
Use a fork to smash the avocados, mixing them with the lemon juice, red onion, and cilantro until your desired consistency is reached. You can opt for a chunky or smoother texture based on your preference.
Season the avocado mixture with sea salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and fold them gently into the avocado smash.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil on top of the avocado mixture just before serving to enhance flavor and achieve a smooth finish.
Serve immediately on its own or accompanying a Whole30-friendly dish such as grilled chicken or fresh vegetable sticks.
