Ingredients
- juice and zest of 1 lime
- 1 tbsp. fresh-squeezed orange juice
- 2 large or 3 small garlic cloves, grated (use a rasp or zester)
- 1-1.5 tsp. kosher salt, divided
- 1/2 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
- 2 ripe avocados, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 1/2-1 full pint fresh mini San Marzano, grape, or cherry tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 1/2 small red onion (about 1/3 c.), finely chopped
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
- 1/3 c. chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
One: Combine the Juice, Seasonings & Avocado:
-
Combine the lime zest and juice, orange juice, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a medium-to-large mixing bowl. Then add the avocado chunks and give the mixture a brief mash—about 10-15 presses with a wire masher, enough to break-down some of the avocado pieces but still keep many whole.
Two: Add Remaining Ingredients:
-
Gently stir in the tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro (if using). Taste and add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt if needed. Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy!
