RED ONIONS:

TOMATOES:

CUCUMBER:

• The cucumber gives the meal a welcome bite and lightness. It complements the avocado’s creamy texture nicely.

CILANTRO:

• Fresh cilantro, often known as parsley, adds a vibrant, herbaceous taste that complements avocado and lime.

LIME JUICE:

AVOCADO OR OLIVE OIL:

• Avocado & olive oil are both types of fats that are good for you and add to the dish’s richness.

GARLIC POWDER:
