Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 230kcal
Ingredients
- 2.5 lbs avocados about 7 medium
- 1/2 cup green onion
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- To cut avocados, cut each fruit in half and remove the pit. I abruptly stick sharp end of the knife into the pit and twist it.
- Then cut each half into 2-3 strips (depends how wide), peel and slice. This way avocado slices do not turn into a mush.
- In a large salad bowl, add avocados, green onion, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
- Stir gently with a wooden spoon and consume within next 5-6 hours. Great on its own, on a toasted pita or in a wrap.
Notes
- Store: This avocado salad is best eaten within 6 hours due to oxidation. You may be able to keep it for up to a day if it's stored wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or an airtight container.
- Make ahead: Chop and toss the avocado in the citrus juice up to four hours before adding the remaining ingredients and serving.
- Avocado: Use a firm yet ripe avocado that has a slight give when squeezed.
- Lemon juice: Or optionally lime juice. Please don't use bottled.
- Other herbs: Use parsley or basil but be careful of cilantro as it will make the salad taste like guacamole.
