Ingredients
- 2 medium avocado
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 0.25 medium red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and dice the flesh into bite-sized pieces. Place the diced avocado into a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Halve the cherry tomatoes, or quarter them if they are large, and add them to the bowl with the avocado.
Step 3
Peel and dice the cucumber into small cubes, and add it to the bowl.
Step 4
Thinly slice the red onion into half-moons, and soak them in cold water for 5 minutes to reduce the sharpness. Drain and add the onion to the salad.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the avocado mixture and gently toss the salad to coat all ingredients evenly, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Step 7
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves roughly and sprinkle them over the salad before serving.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lime juice as desired. Serve immediately as a refreshing side or light lunch.
