Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados, firm yet creamy
- 1 fresh fennel bulb, thinly sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped (adjust for heat preference)
- Prepare the fennel and vegetables: Thinly slice the fennel bulb to maintain crunch and bright flavor. Dice the ripe avocados into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the red onion to create a fresh texture base for the salsa.
- Combine the ingredients: In a mixing bowl, gently toss the sliced fennel, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and red onion together to evenly distribute the ingredients without mashing the avocado.
- Add lime juice and seasonings: Pour fresh lime juice over the mixture to brighten flavors and prevent avocado browning. Season with salt, pepper, and optional jalapeño, adjusting to taste.
- Stir in fresh herbs: Fold in chopped fresh cilantro just before serving to preserve its vibrant aroma and crisp texture.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocados to avoid mushy texture.
- Slice fennel thinly for balanced crunch without toughness.
- Add lime juice gradually to control tartness and preserve avocado color.
- Serve immediately for best freshness and appearance.
- Adjust spice level carefully, starting with small amounts of jalapeño.
