Avocado Salad

By:  Maria



This salad does not get any easier.  Simple, but full of flavor.  Avocado's are in full swing right now - rich in flavor and texture; they are loaded with nutrients and are an excellent source of healthy fats!

Ingredients

2 ripe avocados
1 roma tomato, seeded and chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
2 tblsp cilantro, chopped
Optional:  for heat, 1 jalapeno, chopped with seeds

Combine salad ingredients in a large bowl.  Add dressing ingredients (recipe below) in a small bowl, mix and pour over salad mixture.


Dressing:
Juice of 1 lime
2 tblsp balsamic vinegar
1 tblsp extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
