  • Minutes to Prepare:
  • Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
Didn't use but calls for 10-12 springs fresh cilantro (rinsed) and 1/2 tsp salt & 1 fresh jalapeno pepper, rinsed, also not used by me.We used:1 small tomato, rinsed & diced1/2 cup diced Vidallia onion1/4 tsp or so of Medley black pepper, freshly ground from pepper mill1/4 tsp ground cumin3 medium avocados ( I used the smaller Haas avocados and only 2 of them instead of the 3 called for1 lime (for juice - rinse - heat in microwave for 10 seconds to get the most juice out of the lime)1 (8-ounce) bag of shredded lettuce.
Directions
1. Complete recipe serves 4. I halved it for the two of us.

2. Chop cilantro coarsely & tomato. Place in Bowl.

3. Cut jalapeno pepper in half (remove & discard seeds which will make it less hot) Chop finely & add to bowl. *I did not use.

4. Add chopped onions & seasonings.

5. Cut avocados into quarters, then into bite-sized pieces. (To cut, score a vertical cut on each side of avocado. Pull two halves apart. Spear (carefully) the big nut or seed & pull out of avocado half). Peel rind. (Reminder - you are using lime juice not just for flavoring of this salad, but also to keep the fruit from turning brown).

6. Add to bowl. Stir all ingredients.

7. Squeeze juice of one-half lime or 2 tsps (I just used the whole thing) into salad & mix again, gently.

8. Serve over shredded lettuce.
