Fresh Avocado Tomato Salsa Salad
How to Make a Healthy and Delicious Avocado Tomato Salsa Salad at Home
Hello everyone! Today, we’re making a delightful ‘Avocado Tomato Salsa Salad’ using fresh avocados and sweet cherry tomatoes. This salad is wonderful on its own, but it’s also incredibly delicious served on toast! Let’s create this simple yet nutritious recipe together.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 7 cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 medium onion
- 1/2 cucumber
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash and prepare all the vegetable ingredients that will go into the salad. Fresh ingredients are the foundation of a delicious salad.
Step 2
Peel the onion and slice it thinly into strips. Soak the sliced onion in cold water for about 10 minutes to reduce its pungency. This process mellows the sharp flavor while retaining its sweetness, making it blend beautifully with the salad.
Step 3
Cut the half cucumber in half lengthwise, then dice it into small, bite-sized pieces. Cutting it into smaller cubes will help maintain a pleasant crispiness.
Step 4
Place the prepared vegetables into a mixing bowl. Having all your ingredients gathered makes the next steps much smoother.
Step 5
Now it’s time to prepare the star ingredient: the avocado. Cut the avocado in half, score around the pit, and then gently twist the halves to separate them. It’s important to use a perfectly ripe avocado – one that’s soft to the touch – for the creamiest texture and richest flavor.
Step 6
Once you’ve halved the avocado, use a spoon to carefully scoop out the pit. Removing the pit cleanly will make the next step easier.
Step 7
Chop about 7 cherry tomatoes into small pieces. (If using a regular tomato, you can remove the seeds and dice it for easier preparation.) Add the prepared cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and the mellowed onion to the mixing bowl. Then, in a separate section of the bowl, place the avocado halves and gently mash them with a fork or spoon until smooth.
Step 8
Mash the avocado thoroughly, ensuring there are no large lumps. This will create a wonderfully smooth and rich base for your salsa.
Step 9
Now, it’s time to season everything. Sprinkle fresh salt and black pepper to your taste. Finally, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice for a refreshing zest, and gently toss everything together until well combined. Transfer the finished salsa salad to a serving dish, and it’s ready to enjoy!
Step 10
This recipe is incredibly easy to make, so why not give it a try at home? Enjoy a delightful meal with this healthy and tasty salad!
