Ingredients

  • 2 Hass avocadoes
  • 1 roma tomato
  • 1 green onion (scallion)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro (or more to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (you can use lemon in a pinch)
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne, sauce can be adjusted to taste (I only use Frank's or Trappy's)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste

Method

  • Scoop avocado out of skin and dice into 1/4 inch chunks.
  • Dice a ripe Roma tomato into 1/4 inch chunks and place into bowl with avocado.
  • Blend remaining ingredients into avocado-tomato mixture.
  • Serve with chips or use as a garnish on anything from grilled fish to chicken breasts to omelets.
  • NOTE: In a pinch I have used 2 tablespoons of my favorite salsa in the place of the tomato when I could not find any truly ripe tomatoes at the store.
  • Avocado Trick: If your avocados are not ripe enough, place them in a paper bag to accelerate the ripening process. Trick also works for bananas.
