Easy Avocado Salad (Vegan!)

Ingredients

• 2 avocados
• 4 plum tomatoes
• 1 English cucumber
• 1 green onion
• 3-4 sprigs cilantro
• 1 lime
• salt
• cayenne pepper sauce (optional)

Directions

1. 1

   Dice avocados into 1/4 to 1/2 inch pieces and place in a bowl.

2. 2

   Slice tomatoes and cucumber into 1/2 inch thick slices. Cut each slice in half and place into bowl with avocado.

3. 3

   Dice green onion (green part and base) and cilantro.

4. 4

   Toss all veggies and herbs with the juice of one lime (about 2-3 T).

5. 5

   Add salt to taste. Start with about 1/4 teaspoon, mix taste and add more if necessary. Salt makes the flavors pop so don't skimp.

6. 6

   Add a couple splashes of cayenne sauce if you want a little heat.

7. 7

   The avocado will break up a little and blend with the lime juice to make a dressing for the veggies.

8. 8

   Serve as a side or eat as a main dish. I like it with grilled shrimp.

    Avocados can be ripened in a paper bag.

    Tomatoes can be left on the counter to try to get them good and red. NEVER put them in the fridge.
