Instructions

  • Chop and prepare garnishes: finely chop the 1 bunch cilantro, then set aside a small amount of the chopped cilantro for garnish. Quarter the 6 grape tomatoes and set aside a small portion of the quarters for garnish; keep the remaining quarters for the guacamole.
  • Cut the 1 ripe avocado lengthwise around the pit. Twist the halves apart, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.
  • Mash the avocado with a fork until you reach your preferred texture (leave some small chunks for texture).
  • Pour the juice from the 1/4 lime over the mashed avocado and stir to combine.
  • Add the 1/2 small diced red onion and most of the chopped cilantro (reserve the garnish portion) to the bowl.
  • Add the remaining quartered grape tomatoes (not the reserved garnish pieces) to the avocado mixture and gently fold everything together until evenly combined.
  • Season with a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper, taste, and adjust by adding the same pinches again if desired.
  • Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and garnish with the reserved tomato quarters and the reserved chopped cilantro.
