Ingredients

• 4 whole Roma tomatoes
• 1 medium Red onion
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 whole Jalapeño pepper
• 0.5 cups Fresh cilantro
• 2 whole Lime
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 large Avocado
• 0.5 cups Sweet corn (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash all fresh produce thoroughly under cold running water.

Step 2

Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, uniform cubes and add to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Finely dice the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Step 4

Peel the cucumber, if desired, and dice it into small cubes. Add to the bowl.

Step 5

Finely chop the jalapeño pepper, removing the seeds for less heat or keeping them for a spicier flavor. Add to the bowl.

Step 6

Roughly chop the fresh cilantro leaves and stir them into the mixture.

Step 7

Cut the limes in half and squeeze the fresh lime juice over the salad. Make sure to remove any seeds.

Step 8

Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture and sprinkle in the salt and black pepper. Toss gently to combine everything evenly.

Step 9

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and dice the flesh. Add the diced avocado to the salad, being careful to mix gently to maintain the avocado's shape.

Step 10

If using sweet corn, add it to the salad and give everything a final toss.

Step 11

Taste and adjust the salt, lime juice, or pepper as needed.

Step 12

Serve immediately as a side dish, taco topping, or enjoy on its own as a refreshing salad.
