- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pit, and carefully score the flesh into chunks using a knife. Use a spoon to scoop out the chunks into a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Wash and finely dice the jalapenos, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat. Add them to the bowl with the avocados.

Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the red onion, and chop the fresh cilantro. Add all of these ingredients to the mixing bowl.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and cumin powder to create the dressing.
Step 5
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the mixing bowl. Gently toss everything together, being careful not to mash the avocados.
Step 6
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice as needed.
Step 7
Serve immediately as a side dish or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving for a chilled version.
