Ingredients

Tomatoes: 2 medium-sized around 200g or 7oz each
Avocado: 1 large about 200g or 7oz
Red Onion: 1/4 cup chopped which is like 40g or 1.4oz
Fresh Cilantro: 1/2 cup chopped roughly 15g or 0.5oz
Extra Virgin Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons or 30ml
Lemon Juice: Juice from 1 lemon give or take 30ml
Salt: Just a pinch
Pepper: Sprinkle to your liking
Crushed Red Pepper Flakes: About 1 teaspoon or 5g

Instructions

First things first: wash your tomatoes and avocado under cold water.
Dice those tomatoes. Use a sharp knife and aim for even cubes. Then toss ’em into a big bowl.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and then scoop out the good stuff. Dice it and add it to the tomatoes.
Now, toss in the chopped red onion.
Time for cilantro! Add it to the mix.
Let’s make that dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
Drizzle this yumminess over your tomato and avocado mixture.
Mix it up! But be gentle; you don’t want to mush it all together.
Taste-test time. Adjust salt and pepper if you need to.

Notes

Go for ripe but firm tomatoes and avocados, so your salad doesn’t turn into mush.
Skip the red pepper flakes if you can’t handle the heat.
Lemon juice does double-duty—adds zing and keeps the avocado from going brown.
