This recipe is quick and easy to prepare, making it perfect for a snack, appetizer, or complement to any meal. The combination of ripe avocados and juicy tomatoes, enhanced with zesty lemon juice and fragrant coriander leaves, provides a delightful balance of textures and flavors that will surely please your palate.

Ingredients:

1 avocado
200g
1 tomato
130g
2 tbsp lemon juice
10g
2 tsp coriander leaves
6g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Wash the avocado, tomato, and coriander leaves thoroughly under running water.
- Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
2. Dice the Avocado:
- Cut the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the seed.
- Carefully scoop out the flesh using a spoon and place it on a cutting board.
- Dice the avocado into small, bite-sized cubes.
3. Chop the Tomato:
- Remove the stem from the tomato.
- Cut the tomato into small, even pieces similar in size to the avocado cubes.
- If desired, you may remove the seeds and pulp for a less watery salsa.
4. Chop the Coriander:
- Finely chop the coriander leaves.
5. Combine Ingredients:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the diced avocado, chopped tomato, and finely chopped coriander leaves.
6. Add Lemon Juice:
- Pour the 2 tablespoons of lemon juice over the mixture.
- This will not only add a zesty flavor but also help prevent the avocado from browning.
7. Mix Well:
- Gently stir the ingredients together until they are well combined.
- Be careful not to mash the avocado.
8. Season to Taste (optional):
- If desired, add a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Gently mix again to distribute the seasoning.
9. Serve:
- Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips, on top of grilled chicken or fish, or as a fresh topping for tacos.
10. Store (optional):
- If not serving immediately, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salsa to an airtight container.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to one day. Note that the avocado may start to brown over time, so it's best enjoyed fresh.

Tips:

- Choose ripe avocados and tomatoes for the best flavor and texture. The avocado should give slightly under gentle pressure, and the tomato should be firm but slightly soft to the touch.

- To prevent the avocado from browning, prepare it just before serving or toss it with lemon juice immediately after cutting.

- For a bit of heat, you can add finely chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.

- Let the salsa sit for at least 10-15 minutes after mixing to allow the flavors to meld together.

- Serve the salsa with tortilla chips, on top of grilled chicken or fish, or as a refreshing addition to tacos and burritos.
