Treat your ingredients with care...

• Avocados — Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure. To prevent browning, toss the diced avocados with lime juice immediately after cutting.
• Cherry tomatoes — Use fresh and ripe cherry tomatoes for the best flavor. If you prefer, you can substitute them with regular tomatoes, diced into small pieces.
• Red onion — Soak the thinly sliced red onion in cold water for 10 minutes before adding it to the salad. This will help mellow the sharpness of the onion.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra kick of heat, add a finely chopped chili pepper to the salad.
• If you prefer a creamier texture, mash one of the avocados and leave the other diced.
• Serve the salad on a bed of fresh lettuce leaves for added presentation and texture.
• Add a squeeze of lemon juice for a slightly tangier flavor.
• Feel free to customize the salad by adding your favorite vegetables or herbs.
