Avocado salad

I was craving for days for a guacamole but then I decided to make kind of a salad instead … but it turned out so delicious, I didn’t regret my choice …

I had the salad with oven whole wheat pita.

Ingredients ( 2 servings )

  • 2 avocados
  • 1 large tomato
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lemon
  • salt and paper to taste
  • green onion or garlic ( this time I haven’t use any of those because I took I serving at work for lunch so … I decided to skip them this time )
  • fresh parsley or coriander

Cut the avocado in half, remove the stone, dice the avocado and place it in the salad bowl. Peel the tomato, save only the pulp and cut it in small pieces. Add the tomato pieces to the avocado. Sprinkle with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and ground pepper. Mix all together, garnish with fresh parsley and serve it right away .
