1 ripe avocado (soft to the touch like a peach)
1 tsp red onion, chopped fine
1Tbs cilantro, chopped fine
¼ tsp minced jalapeno
½ juice of lime, seeds removed
¼ tsp sea salt
Dash of pepper
Cut around avocado lengthwise taking care not to cut through the seed. Split apart half of the avocado and scoop the seed out with a spoon. Then scoop the inside of the avocado out with a spoon and put in a serving bowl. Cut the avocado in small chunks. Add the remainder of ingredients. Toss with a fork and slightly mash some of the avocado. Top off with a sprinkle of sea salt and garnish with cilantro.
Serve with chips and salsa or as a side with Mexican food. Do not make too far in advance or it will turn brown. If you have to prepare ahead squeeze additional lime on top of finished salad and cover tightly with saran wrap.
