Ingredients
- 2 large ripe avocados
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 small jalapeño pepper
- 1 large lime
- 1 large garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your workspace with a cutting board and sharp knife.
Step 2
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a medium mixing bowl. Use a fork to lightly mash the avocado to your preferred level of chunkiness.
Step 3
Wash and dry the cherry tomatoes, then quarter them and add them to the bowl with the avocado.
Step 4
Dice half of a medium red onion, ensuring the pieces are small and even, and add them to the mix.
Step 5
Chop the fresh cilantro finely and incorporate it into the salsa for a burst of fresh flavor.
Step 6
Remove the seeds from the jalapeño pepper, being cautious to avoid skin contact with the seeds. Dice the pepper finely and add it to the bowl.
Step 7
Press or mince the garlic clove and mix it in with the other ingredients in the bowl.
Step 8
Squeeze the juice of one large lime over the mixture. Adjust lime to taste—add more if desired for extra zing.
Step 9
Sprinkle the sea salt and black pepper over the salsa, then stir everything well until fully mixed.
Step 10
Taste the salsa and adjust seasonings as needed.
Step 11
Serve the Heart-Healthy Avocado Salsa immediately as a dip with whole grain chips or as a topping for grilled fish or chicken.
