Serves 4

Ingredients

Avocado
2, ripe and diced
Pineapple
2 cups, fresh and diced
Red onion
1/4 cup, thinly sliced
Cilantro
1/4 cup, chopped
Lime
juice of 2 limes
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Salt
1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
Black pepper
1/4 teaspoon, or to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the diced avocados, fresh pineapple, and thinly sliced red onion, being careful not to mash the avocado.
  2. 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.
  3. Pour the dressing over the avocado and pineapple mixture, tossing gently to ensure everything is coated evenly without mashing the ingredients.
  4. Sprinkle the salad generously with chopped cilantro for an added burst of flavor and visual appeal.
  5. 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.
