  • 2 ripe avocados, cubed
  • 1/4 small red onion, sliced
  • 1/4 cup minced cilantro or parsley

Dressing and Seasoning

  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 small cucumber, sliced
  • 1/2 cup chickpeas

  • 1/2 cup feta or cubed mozzarella

Instructions

  1. Prepare Tomatoes: Chop the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large bowl.
  2. Slice Onion: Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
  3. Cube Avocados: Cube the ripe avocados gently and fold them into the salad bowl, taking care not to mash them.
  4. Add Herbs: Add the chopped cilantro or parsley to the mixture for freshness and flavor.
  5. Mix Dressing: Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and freshly squeezed lime juice over the salad ingredients.
  6. Season: Sprinkle red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to taste over the salad.
  7. Toss Salad: Gently toss all the ingredients together to combine thoroughly without smashing the avocado cubes.

Notes

  • For added protein, include optional chickpeas or black beans.
  • Add cucumber slices for additional crunch and freshness.
  • Feta or mozzarella cheese can enhance the creaminess and flavor of the salad.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the avocado’s best texture; refrigerate only briefly to avoid browning.
  • Adjust the red pepper flakes according to desired spiciness.
