Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 ripe avocados, cubed

  • 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved

  • 1 cucumber, diced

  • ¼ red onion, thinly sliced

  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped

  • Juice of 1 lemon (or lime)

  • 1½ tbsp olive oil

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Crumbled feta or goat cheese (optional)

  • Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and herbs.

  2. Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil.

  3. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.

  4. Toss everything together — it’s okay if the avocado gets a little smashed and messy!

  5. Sprinkle with cheese if desired and serve immediately.

 

Notes

  • Best served fresh. If prepping ahead, add avocado just before serving.

  • Great with tortilla chips, over greens, or on toast.

  • Add chickpeas, grilled corn, or cooked quinoa to bulk it up.
