Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large ripe avocados, diced into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped finely
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly cracked

Method
 

  1. Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Peel and pit the avocados, then cut the flesh into bite-sized cubes and add to the bowl with the tomatoes.
  3. Finely dice the red onion and add it to the bowl. If the flavor is too sharp, soak in cold water for five minutes before adding.
  4. Chop the fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the vegetables.
  5. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and squeeze the fresh lime juice over the ingredients.
  6. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper, then gently toss the salad using a folding motion to preserve the avocado chunks.
  7. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

To prevent browning, use lime juice and cover tightly with plastic wrap if storing leftovers. Best consumed within 24 hours.
