  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • salt and pepper to taste

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the tomatoes, avocados, red onion, cilantro and jalapeno in a large bowl. 
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper.
  3. Pour the dressing over the tomato mixture and gently toss to coat. Serve immediately, or cover and chill for up to 1 hour.

Notes

  • I recommend serving this salad immediately. If you need to prepare it in advance, you can cover the salad and store it in the refrigerator for one hour.
  • You can use any type of tomato you like in this dish. I used small vine ripened tomatoes which I cut into quarters.
  • Make sure to pick ripe avocados that are on the firmer side so that they don't turn to mush in the salad.
