Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados diced
- 1 large cucumber peeled and chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- ΒΌ cup red onion finely diced (optional)
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped (or parsley)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing all your vegetables. Peel the cucumber and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and set them aside. Dice the ripe avocados into small cubes, ensuring they are fresh and firm.
- Combine the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cucumber, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and optional red onion.
- Dress the Salad: Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture. This not only enhances the flavor but also prevents the avocados from browning.
- Season: Add salt and pepper to taste, making sure to mix gently to avoid mashing the avocados.
- Garnish: Finally, sprinkle with chopped cilantro or parsley, giving it a vibrant touch and aromatic flavor.
- Serve Immediately: For the best flavors, serve the salad right away. If you want to prepare it ahead of time, add the avocados just before serving to keep them fresh.
