Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, diced

2 medium ripe tomatoes, chopped

1 medium cucumber, diced

1/4 red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Veggies: Start by washing all the vegetables thoroughly. Dice the avocados, chop the tomatoes, and peel and slice the cucumber. Remember to remove the seeds from the tomatoes if you prefer a less watery salad.

    Chop the Onion and Herbs: Finely chop the red onion and cilantro. This will add an aromatic freshness to the salad.

      Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the diced avocados, chopped tomatoes, diced cucumber, chopped red onion, and cilantro. Be careful not to mash the avocados; you want them to maintain their shape.

        Make the Dressing: In a small bowl or a jar, whisk together the lime juice, extra-virgin olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chili flakes (if using). This dressing will enhance the flavors of your salad.

          Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss gently with a spatula until everything is evenly coated in the dressing.

            Taste Test: Give your salad a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. You might want to add a little more lime juice, salt, or a touch of honey for a hint of sweetness.

              Chill and Serve: For best flavor, let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
