  • 2 avocados ripe but firm, diced
  • 1/4 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley chopped

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Small Jar or Bowl

Method
 

  1. Slice cucumbers, dice avocados, and thinly slice red onion. Add to a large mixing bowl along with chopped herbs.
  2. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together lime juice, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  3. Drizzle dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine without mashing the avocado.

Notes

Add avocado just before serving for freshest texture. Leftovers last up to 1 day in the fridge. Not suitable for freezing due to high water content.
