  • 2 whole Avocados
  • 1 large Cucumber
  • 1 medium Red Onion
  • 1/2 cup Basil Pesto
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

  1. Wash and halve the red and yellow cherry tomatoes, placing them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Peel and dice the avocados and slice the cucumbers into thin rounds. Add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
  3. Finely dice the red onion and combine it with the other ingredients in the bowl.

Notes

  • Feel free to swap red cherry tomatoes with grape tomatoes for a different flavor.
  • Any sweet tomato variety works well as a substitute for yellow cherry tomatoes.
  • Cubed cheese or cooked quinoa can be added as alternatives to avocados.
  • Consider different cucumber varieties or omit if preferred.
  • Green onions can serve as a milder alternative to red onion.
  • Use homemade or store-bought basil pesto; sun-dried tomato pesto can add a twist.
  • Lime juice can be a tasty substitute for lemon juice.
