Vibrant Avocado Tomato Salad Guacamole
Create a Refreshing Tomato Salad Guacamole
Let’s make guacamole, a type of Mexican sauce made with avocado. Guacamole is delicious and savory when served on nachos or bread, but we’re making it as a salad to enjoy it as a lighter dish. This recipe offers a delightful blend of textures and fresh flavors.
Ingredients- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 small tomatoes
- 1/2 yellow bell pepper
- 5-6 celery leaves
- 1/2 onion
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp pine nuts
- Pinch of salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, cut the avocado in half. Carefully remove the pit using a knife, then peel the skin. Dice the avocado flesh into small, bite-sized pieces. (Tip: If you’re making guacamole as a dip or sauce, mashing the avocado will give you a creamier texture.)
Step 2
Finely mince the onion. Place the minced onion in a small bowl, sprinkle with a little salt, and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Gently squeeze out any excess liquid. This step helps to mellow the onion’s sharpness, making it milder and more pleasant.
Step 3
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and remove the core. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size. It’s best to scoop out and discard the seeds and pulp. (Tip: Removing the seeds and excess moisture from the tomatoes will prevent the salad from becoming watery.)
Step 4
Finely dice the seeded tomatoes and the yellow bell pepper. The crisp texture of the bell pepper will add a wonderful contrast and vibrant flavor to the salad.
Step 5
In a medium bowl, combine the diced avocado, onion, tomatoes, and yellow bell pepper. Add the fresh celery leaves and the toasted pine nuts. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Gently toss everything together until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt to taste. Your delicious Tomato Salad Guacamole is ready to be enjoyed!
Step 6
This versatile Tomato Salad Guacamole is wonderful as a filling for sandwiches, or served piled high on fresh lettuce or romaine leaves. Enjoying it as a standalone salad is also a treat, as the aromatic celery and bright lemon juice create a burst of fresh flavor that fills your palate. Serve and enjoy in various delightful ways!
