  • cup red onion sliced

  • tbsp olive oil

  • tsp salt
  • tsp black pepper

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Combine diced avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, and onion in a mixing bowl.
  2. Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  3. Pour dressing over salad and toss gently to avoid mashing avocado.
  4. Add optional chickpeas or herbs for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

Keep avocado slightly firm for best texture. Avoid overmixing to prevent mushiness. Do not freeze assembled salad. Add proteins or grains for variation. Store leftovers briefly with lemon to reduce browning and consume within one day.
