1 avocado, cut into large cubes
8 oz cherry tomatoes, halved (or 2 large tomatoes, cut into large dice)
2 tablespoons cup finely chopped cilantro or parsley
1 pickled jalapeno chili, chopped
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/8 teaspoon cumin or Mexican oregano
Salt and pepper


Directions

Prepare the Vegetables
Cut 1 avocado into large cubes and place them in a medium-sized bowl. Halve 8 oz of cherry tomatoes (or dice 2 large tomatoes) and add them to the bowl with the avocado. Finely chop 2 tablespoons of cilantro or parsley and 1 pickled jalapeno chili, then add them to the bowl.

Make the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, and 1/8 teaspoon of cumin or Mexican oregano. Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine and Serve
Pour the dressing over the avocado, tomatoes, cilantro or parsley, and jalapeno. Gently toss the salad to evenly coat the vegetables with the dressing, being careful not to mash the avocado.
