Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 3 medium tomatoes
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • feta cheese, optional

Equipment

  • cutting board
  • knife
  • mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Gather all your ingredients and tools: a cutting board, knife, and mixing bowl.
  2. Dice the ripe avocados into small, bite-sized pieces, ensuring they remain firm.
  3. Chop the medium tomatoes into cubes, removing seeds if preferred.
  4. Finely chop the red onion and cilantro. If it’s too strong, soak the onion in cold water for a few minutes to mellow its flavor.
  5. Cut the lime in half, ready for juicing.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the diced avocados and tomatoes.
  7. Add the chopped red onion and cilantro for a fresh burst of flavor.
  8. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture, ensuring each piece has a touch of zesty goodness.
  9. Gently toss everything together until all ingredients are well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. If using, sprinkle feta cheese over the top for added flavor.
  11. Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or individual plates, presenting it beautifully.
  12. For maximum freshness, serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap if storing for a short time. This salad is best enjoyed chilled, so refrigerate it for half an hour if time permits.

Notes

Use ripe, but not overly soft avocados for the best texture. Chill ingredients before serving to enhance flavors. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
