Avocado Salad

Ingredients:

 

• 2 ripe avocados

 

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

 

• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced

 

• 1 cucumber, peeled and diced

 

• 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped

 

• Juice of 1 lemon

 

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

 

• Salt and pepper to taste

 

Instructions:

 

• Start by preparing the avocados. Cut them in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Slice the avocado into bite-sized pieces.

 

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, red onion, diced cucumber, and chopped parsley.

 

• In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

 

• Pour the dressing over the avocado salad and gently toss everything together until well coated.

 

• Allow the salad to sit for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together. This will also help soften the onions slightly.

 

• Give the salad a final toss before serving. You can adjust the seasoning if needed.
