1 small tomatoes (rinsed)
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
3 medium avocados (rinsed)
1 lime, juice of (rinsed)

Steps:

  • Chop cilantro coarsely, place in medium bowl.
  • Cut jalapeño pepper in half (remove and discard seeds); chop finely and add to bowl.

  • Stir in onions, salt, pepper, and cumin.
  • Cut avocados into quarters; then cut into bite-size pieces. (Score the inside of the avocados in a crisscross pattern through the flesh, just down to the skin. Flatten skin slightly and slide knife across the bottom, next to the skin, to remove the cubes.) Stir into mixture until blended.
  • Squeeze juice of one-half lime (about 2 teaspoons) into salad; mix gently until blended.
  • Serve over shredded lettuce.

Tips:

- Use fresh cauliflower for the best flavor and texture. - If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the cauliflower by hand. - Be sure to wash and dry the cilantro thoroughly before chopping it. - If you like spicy food, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the guacamole. - Serve the salad immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
