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:
Instructions:
- 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.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the avocado cubes.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the bowl with the avocado.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
