Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 0.25 whole red onion
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Start by preparing the vegetables. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and carefully scoop out the flesh using a spoon. Chop the avocado flesh into bite-sized chunks and place them in a large salad bowl.
2. Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the avocado.
3. Peel and seed the cucumber if desired, then chop it into small cubes and add it to the salad bowl.
4. Finely chop the red onion and add to the bowl. This will add a nice crunch and sharpness to the salad.
5. Roughly chop or tear the fresh cilantro leaves and add them to the salad for a burst of herbaceous flavor.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper. This simple dressing enhances the natural flavors of the salad ingredients.
7. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together, being careful not to mash the avocados.
8. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if necessary.
9. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Enjoy your Whole30 fresh avocado salad as a light meal or side dish.
