Ingredients

3 avocados ($3.75)

3 small tomatoes ($1.08)

1/4 red onion ($0.11)

1 clove garlic ($0.08)

1 jalapeño ($0.18)

1/4 bunch cilantro ($0.23)

1 Tbsp olive oil ($0.08)

1 lime ($0.59)

1/2 tsp salt ($0.03)

Instructions

1 Dice the avocados and tomatoes. Finely dice the red onion and jalapeño (seeds removed). Mince the garlic, and roughly chop the cilantro.

2 Add the avocados, tomatoes, jalapeño, red onion, garlic, and cilantro to a large bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over top. Juice the lime and add about 1 Tbsp to the salad to start, along with ¼ tsp salt.

3 Give the salad a brief stir, then taste and add more lime juice and salt to your liking. I ended up using 2 Tbsp lime juice total and ½ tsp salt. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
