  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 5 servings

Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 2 chopped avocados
  • 1 diced bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 4 tbsp cilantro (optional)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • Black pepper to taste (optional)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup black beans or diced cucumber

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the chopped avocados, diced bell pepper, diced onion, and cilantro if using. Mix gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
  2. Add Seasoning and Lime Juice: Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture, then add salt and black pepper to taste. Toss everything gently to combine and evenly coat the salad.
  3. Optional Add-Ins: If desired, fold in 1/2 cup of black beans or diced cucumber for extra texture and flavor.
  4. Serve Chilled: Serve the salad immediately or refrigerate it in a covered container. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days.

Notes

  • For best flavor and texture, prepare and serve this salad fresh.
  • Omitting cilantro is optional if you prefer to avoid it.
  • Adding black beans provides extra protein.
  • Use ripe but firm avocados to maintain salad texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container to prevent avocado browning.
