- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Halve, seed, and peel avocados, then cut into ½-inch diced pieces. Place in a medium non-reactive bowl. Halve tomatoes, seed them, and cut into ½-inch diced pieces. Add to bowl along with minced jalapeño.
- In a small bowl, mix together lime juice, shallots, cilantro, and salt. Whisk in oil. Pour over the avocados and tomatoes and mix gently so that avocado pieces do not get mashed. Taste and add more salt if needed.

Notes
Achieve a harmonious blend of flavors by combining the creaminess of avocados with the tanginess of lime juice, the freshness of diced tomatoes, the crunchiness of red onions, and the subtle heat of jalapeños. Don't forget to season with salt and pepper to enhance the overall taste. Adjust the ingredients according to your personal preference for a salsa that's perfectly balanced.
