Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the diced avocados, fresh pineapple, and thinly sliced red onion, being careful not to mash the avocado.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the juice of 2 limes, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create a zesty dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the avocado and pineapple mixture, tossing gently to ensure everything is coated evenly without mashing the ingredients.
- Sprinkle the salad generously with chopped cilantro for an added burst of flavor and visual appeal.
- For the best flavor, serve immediately to enjoy the freshness, or chill slightly before serving if preferred.
Tips
- For an extra kick, consider adding diced jalapeño or a pinch of chili powder to the salad.
- If you prefer a sweeter flavor, add a drizzle of honey or agave syrup to the dressing.
- Feel free to substitute the cilantro with fresh mint or basil for a different herbal twist.
