Ingredients
- 2 large avocado
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 0.25 small red onion
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the avocados. Cut each avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh from the skin using a spoon. Cube the avocados and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes, and add them to the bowl with the avocado.
Step 3
Peel the cucumber, slice it in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Dice the cucumber and add it to the bowl.
Step 4
Finely dice a quarter of a small red onion and add to the salad mixture. This will add a bit of bite and color to the salad.
Step 5
Chop the fresh cilantro and mix it into the salad. It adds freshness and a pop of color.
Step 6
In a small bowl or jar, combine the olive oil, fresh lime juice, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk or shake well to create the dressing.
Step 7
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl. Gently toss everything together until all ingredients are well-coated with the dressing.
Step 8
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning as needed, avoiding salt to keep it low sodium.
Step 9
Serve the salad fresh, either as a standalone dish or as a side. Enjoy the creamy texture of the avocado against the crunchy vegetables!
