Ingredients

4 medium avocados
2 firm tomatoes, seeded and finely diced
1 medium white onion
1½ c. chopped cilantro
3 T. fresh lime juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pit before scooping out the flesh. (Carefully strike the pit with a chef’s knife and twist to easily remove it).
  2. Mash the avocado flesh with a fork and combine with tomato, onion, cilantro, and fresh lime juice. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
  3. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for later use. Squeeze extra lime juice over the top before covering tightly with plastic wrap to prevent browning.

Makes 6 servings.
