Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Begin by peeling the onion.
- Slice the onion finely. If you prefer a milder onion flavor, you can soak the slices in cold water for about 10 minutes, then drain.
- Rinse the tomatoes under cold water.
- Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. You can choose to remove the seeds if you prefer a less watery salad.
- Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits.
- Scoop out the avocado flesh with a spoon.
- Cut the avocado into chunks or slices, according to your preference.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced onion, chopped tomatoes, and avocado pieces.
- Drizzle the lemon juice over the combined ingredients.
- Gently toss the salad to coat all ingredients evenly with the lemon juice, being careful not to mash the avocados.
- Optionally, add salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the salad immediately to enjoy the freshness. If you need to store it, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate but try to consume it within a few hours to prevent the avocados from browning.
Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados that are slightly soft to the touch to ensure a creamy texture.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
- For a more vibrant presentation, consider using a mix of red and yellow tomatoes.
- If you prefer a milder onion flavor, rinse the chopped onion under cold water before adding it to the salad.
- You can add a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors even more.
