Avocado Tomato Salad



This quick to make salad goes great with grilled chicken, steak or even grilled fish. It is also nice as a sort of salsa when you crave some Mexican food.


2 large tomatoes; seeded and chopped in large chunks
2 large Avocados; cut in large chunks
1  Red onion; cut in very fine strips
1/2 tablespoon jalapeno pepper; finely chopped - adjust to how hot you like it
juice of half a Lime (approx. 1 – 2 Tbs)
2-3 branches of fresh cilantro, chopped finely
Salt and Pepper to taste

Cut the avocadoes and tomatoes so they are approximately the same size. Combine all ingredients and serve straight away.

Important: De-seed the tomatoes or you will have way too much juice. Adjust lime juice so there's not too much liquid.

Tip: Try it with diced red or yellow pepper, green onions and a sprinkling of chili powder and cumin.
You could also add diced mozzarella for an Italian twist
