Ingredients

3 ripe avocados
⅓ cup red onions
1 tablespoon lime juice squeeze of 2 lime wedges
½ teaspoon salt
5 cherry tomatoes diced

Instructions

Cut avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop them into a medium bowl.
Mash avocados with a fork. You can mash this to a smoother or more chunky consistency depending on what you prefer!
Finely dice the red onions and cut the cherry tomatoes, then add to the mashed avocados.
Add lime juice and salt and stir together.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if needed.

Notes

If you don’t have fresh tomatoes, you can do a tablespoon of salsa in a pinch!
Always taste with a chip before adding more salt. Often the saltiness of the chips is enough.
