Chunks of avocado, tomato, red and green peppers, and plenty of cilantro give flavor to this refreshing and colorful salad, and jalapeno peppers give it a hint of heat. Dressing is just a simple squeeze of lime juice.

Ingredients

  • 4 large ripe tomatoes, cut into bite-size pieces

  • 1 bunch cilantro, stems cut off and leaves coarsely chopped

  • 1 large green bell pepper, cut into bite-size pieces

  • 1 large red bell pepper, cut into bite-size pieces

  • 2 jalapeno peppers, finely chopped

  • 3 green onions, chopped

  • ½ sweet red onion, chopped

  • 2 large avocados, pitted and cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 1 lime, juiced

  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste

Directions

  1. In a large salad bowl, lightly mix the tomatoes, cilantro, green and red bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, green onions, and sweet red onion until thoroughly combined. Gently toss with avocado pieces, and squeeze lime juice over the salad. Sprinkle with salt to serve.

Cook’s Note

I control the heat of the jalapeño peppers by leaving in the membranes and seeds (hotter) or removing the seeds and membranes (milder). I usually end up removing the seeds from 1 pepper and leaving the seeds in the other one.
