Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: Vine-ripened tomatoes are the best choice for this salad, as they have a sweeter, more intense flavor. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and have no blemishes.
- Use a variety of avocados: Avocados come in a range of sizes and shapes. For this salad, you can use small, medium, or large avocados. If you're using large avocados, you may want to cut them into smaller pieces.
- Red onion adds a bit of sharpness to the salad, but you can also use a milder onion, such as a yellow or sweet onion.
- Fresh cilantro adds a bright, herbaceous flavor to the salad. You can also use parsley or basil.
- Lime juice is a key ingredient in this salad, as it helps to brighten the flavors of the tomatoes and avocados.
- Honey or maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness to the salad. You can also use agave nectar or another liquid sweetener.
- Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for this salad. You can also add a pinch of chili powder or cumin for a bit of extra flavor.
- Serve the salad immediately after making it, while the avocados are still green and fresh.
