Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 pints cherry tomatoes rainbow or medley if you can find them
- 2 hass avocados ripe, but still firm
- ½ of a medium sized red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh minced parsley
- Juice of 2 limes
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Slice avocados in half, remove the pit and scoop out the flesh. Cut avocados into bite sized chunks and place into a medium sized mixing bowl. Squeeze 1 lime over the avocados, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and stir gently.
- Slice cherry tomatoes in half and add to the bowl with the avocados.
- Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl.
- Add olive oil, juice of 1 lime, minced garlic and salt and pepper in a small container with a tight fitting lid. Shake vigorously to combine. Pour over the salad and toss to coat well.
- Taste salad and add salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- Grape tomatoes and cherry tomatoes can be used interchangeably.
- I like red onion for color, but white can also be used.
- For a more spanish flare, use cilantro Instead of parsley.
- To get the most juice out of the limes, roll them on the counter first using your palm and pressing down slightly.
