Ingredients
3 large ripe avocados
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
1 medium roma tomato, deseeded and chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Dice the red onion into very small, uniform pieces.
Remove the seeds from the roma tomato and chop the flesh into small cubes.
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves finely, discarding the thicker stems.
Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits.
Scoop the avocado flesh into a large mixing bowl.
Mash the avocado pieces with a fork using vertical strokes until desired chunky consistency is reached.
Fold in the diced onion, tomato, cilantro, lime juice, and salt using a rubber spatula.
Notes
Choose avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure but avoid those with dark indentations or soft spots. Ensure tomatoes are deseeded to prevent a watery consistency in the final dip. Serve immediately or press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent oxidation (browning).
