  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups ripe tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash tomatoes and cilantro under cool water. Chop tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and dice the avocado carefully.
  2. For a milder flavor, sauté the diced red onion in olive oil over medium heat until translucent (3-4 minutes).
  3. In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, avocado, sautéed onions (if using), and cilantro; mix gently to avoid mashing the avocados.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Drizzle over the salad and toss gently until well combined.
  5. Serve immediately or refrigerate briefly if needed.
