Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ripe avocado medium, firm but yielding to gentle pressure
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup English cucumber diced (no need to peel)
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice about 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped (optional)

Method
 

  1. At the campsite, halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Dice into bite-sized chunks.
  2. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and red onion to the bowl.
  3. Squeeze the lime juice over the top and drizzle with olive oil.
  4. Gently toss everything together with a spoon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Sprinkle with cilantro if using. Serve immediately. This salad does not keep well, so make only what you will eat.
