Avocado salad is a simple and delicious dish that showcases the creamy texture and rich flavor of ripe avocados. This salad is often made with a few key ingredients to complement the avocado, such as tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and lime juice.
To make avocado salad, start by cutting ripe avocados in half and removing the pit. Scoop out the flesh and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Place the avocado pieces in a bowl.
Next, add diced tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, and chopped fresh cilantro to the bowl with the avocado. The tomatoes add juiciness and a hint of acidity, while the onion and cilantro add flavor and freshness.
Drizzle the salad with fresh lime juice and a pinch of salt. Gently toss the ingredients together until everything is well combined. Be careful not to mash the avocado pieces, as you want them to remain chunky.
You can also add other ingredients to customize your avocado salad, such as diced bell peppers, black beans, corn, or jalapeños for a spicy kick. Serve the salad as a side dish or as a topping for tacos, burritos, or grilled chicken.
Avocado salad is a healthy and satisfying dish that is full of flavor and nutrients. It’s a great way to enjoy the creamy goodness of avocados in a simple and delicious recipe.
