This has got the be the easiest side dish not involving a microwave ever. To be honest, it’s probably easier that most involving a microwave anyway. It’s so quick and easy, it barely warrants a blog post, but here is is anyway!
Just start by chopping everything up. Ok, so there’s avocados involved, and sometimes those are a little tricky to peel, but it doesn’t need to look pretty for this salad! Quarter or halve or tomatoes, depending on how large they are. Chop up your onion and pepper to, removing the seed.
Then just combine everything except the salt and pepper in one bowl. You’ll want to use a large bowl as is it make it easier to mix. Because the avocados are soft, I like to use a rubber spatula to gently turn everything to coat. Mix well to coat your tomatoes, avocado, pepper, and onion in the lime juice.
Finally, season with salt and pepper to taste.
This is a super quick, super easy, super delicious side that goes great with some many of our Mexican inspired dishes like our Fajita Chicken Bake or Mexican Frittata. What a great way to top off Taco Tuesday! Make sure to add it to your next meal plan!
