Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe avocados diced
  • 2 medium tomatoes chopped
  • 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: 1 small jalapeño seeded and finely diced

Instructions
 

  • Start by slicing your avocados in half, removing the pit, and dicing them into roughly 1-inch cubes. Pro tip: Make sure your avocados are ripe but still firm enough to hold their shape.
  • Chop your tomatoes into similar-sized pieces as the avocado. If your tomatoes are very juicy, you might want to remove some seeds to prevent the salad from becoming too watery.
  • In a large bowl, combine the diced avocados, tomatoes, and sliced red onion.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Pour the dressing over the vegetables and gently toss to coat everything evenly. Be careful not to mash the avocados.
  • Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top and give it one final gentle toss.
