Avocado salad

Avocado salad is a refreshing, simple, and nutritious dish that's perfect for a light lunch or a side to your main meal. Packed with creamy avocado, zesty lemon, and juicy cherry tomatoes, this salad is both delicious and easy to prepare.

Ingredients:

1 avocado
200g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1/2 lemon
30g
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
77g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Avocado: Cut the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh, then cut it into bite-sized cubes.
- Cherry Tomatoes: Rinse the cherry tomatoes under cold water and pat them dry. Cut each tomato in half.
- Lemon: Roll the lemon on the countertop with moderate pressure to help release the juices. Cut the lemon in half and set one half aside for another use; we'll use the other half to juice.
2. Combine Ingredients:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the avocado cubes.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the bowl with the avocado.
3. Season the Salad:
- Squeeze the juice from the half lemon over the avocado and tomatoes.
- Sprinkle a dash of black pepper and a dash of salt over the salad ingredients.
4. Toss the Salad:
- Gently toss all the ingredients together until they are evenly coated with the lemon juice and seasoning. Be careful not to mash the avocado while tossing.
5. Serve Immediately:
- Serve the avocado salad immediately to enjoy its fresh and vibrant flavors. It is a perfect side dish on its own or can be paired with grilled meats, fish, or enjoyed as a light and healthy snack.

Tips:

- For extra flavor, you can add a drizzle of olive oil or balsamic vinegar.

- Mix in some fresh herbs like cilantro or basil for an added aromatic touch.

- If you prefer a bit of crunch, consider adding some chopped nuts or seeds.

- Make sure to use ripe avocados for the best texture and flavor.

- You can add other vegetables such as cucumber or red onion for added variety.

There you have it! A quick and delightful avocado salad that's sure to please your taste buds. This salad is perfect on its own or as a side dish, and it's packed with healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals.
