Description
A fresh and vibrant dish that bursts with flavor and can be whipped up in just 5 minutes!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups chopped tomatoes (any kind), about ½-inch pieces
- 2 ripe avocados, cubed
- ¼ small red onion, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup minced fresh cilantro or flat-leaf parsley
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Start by placing your chopped tomatoes and thinly sliced red onion into a large mixing bowl. This base will set the flavor for your salad, combining the sweetness of the tomatoes with the sharpness of the onions. Mix them together gently to ensure an even distribution without mashing the tomatoes.
- Next, gently fold in the cubed avocados. The key to maintaining the integrity of the avocados is to be gentle with your mixing. Use a spatula or a wooden spoon to avoid breaking them down too much. You want to keep those lovely, creamy chunks intact to ensure a delightful texture.
- Now it’s time to add your fresh herbs! Sprinkle in the minced cilantro or parsley, depending on your preference. Then, drizzle the salad with juice from one lime and a bit of extra virgin olive oil. These additions not only enhance the flavor but also provide a refreshing quality to the salad. The citrus from the lime will brighten up the salad, making it even more appealing.
- Don’t forget to season your salad! Lightly sprinkle red pepper flakes for a hint of spice, along with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss the salad gently one more time to ensure the seasoning evenly coats all your ingredients for maximum flavor.
- Your Easy Avocado Tomato Onion Salad is ready to be enjoyed! Serve it immediately for the best experience or refrigerate for up to two hours if you want to prepare it ahead of time.
