- 3 ripe avocados, pitted and diced

- Cut avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop out the flesh. Dice into 1/2-inch cubes and place in a large mixing bowl.
- Rinse and halve cherry tomatoes (or dice larger tomatoes). Add to the bowl with the avocado.
- Peel and thinly slice red onion. Soak in cold water for 10 minutes to mellow the flavor if desired. Drain well and add to the bowl.
- Rinse and dry cilantro. Remove leaves from stems and chop finely. Add to the bowl.
- Peel and mince garlic clove.
- In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and jalapeño (if using).
- Pour the dressing over the avocado, tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro in the large mixing bowl.
- Gently toss the salad to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.
- Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve as a side dish, topping, or dip. Sprinkle with feta cheese (if using) just before serving.
Notes
- Adjust lime juice and seasoning to taste.
