- 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, diced avocado, finely chopped red onion, and chopped fresh cilantro ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Prepare the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper until the dressing emulsifies and flavors blend well.
- Toss the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly without mashing the avocado.
- Serve or Chill: Serve the salad immediately for the freshest taste or chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocado to prevent the salad from becoming mushy.
- Chilling the salad enhances the flavors but serve within a few hours to maintain freshness.
- For extra zest, add a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of cumin powder to the dressing.
- This salad is best enjoyed fresh and does not require cooking.
