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.
