Guacamole Salad

Ingredients

• 3 medium ripe avocados
• 3 large roma tomatoes
• 1/4 red onion
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 small lime
• 1/4 bunch cilantro
• 1 whole or less jalapeno
• 1/4 tsp salt
• About 10 cranks fresh ground black pepper
• 1 Tbsp olive oil

Directions

Chop the tomatoes, jalapeno, onion, garlic, and cilantro, and add them to a bowl. Keep the jalapeno, onion, garlic, and cilantro especially fine, but let the tomatoes stay in bigger pieces, approximately 1/2 inch square. Cut the avocado into pieces that match the tomatoes, and leave that for the very end so it spends as little time as possible exposed to air and is less likely to brown. After the dressing goes in, the acidity from the tomatoes and lime helps protect the avocado during storage. In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, lime juice and zest, salt, and pepper. Drizzle it over the chopped vegetables and gently mix everything together.
