Ingredients

2 ripe avocados, diced

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

1 large cucumber, diced

1/4 red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1/2 jalapeño, finely chopped (for a spicy kick)

Instructions

Prepare the Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced avocados, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and finely chopped red onion.

Add Fresh Herbs: Sprinkle in the chopped cilantro, mixing gently to avoid smashing the avocado.

Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. If you’re adding jalapeño, include it here for a zing.

Combine: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture, and toss gently to coat all the ingredients without mashing the avocado.

Taste and Adjust: Sample the salad and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice if desired.

Chill (Optional): For the best flavor, let the salad sit in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before serving.

Serve: Serve chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing side dish or a light main course.
