A Short History
Avocado salads have roots in Latin American cuisine, especially in Mexico, where avocados have been grown for thousands of years. Pairing avocados with tomatoes and onions is a tradition seen in classic dishes like pico de gallo and guacamole.
Over time, this trio of ingredients spread across the world, becoming a favorite combination in Mediterranean cooking, American summer salads, and modern healthy-eating recipes. This salad celebrates those traditions — simple ingredients, bold flavors, and fresh herbs.
Ingredients
Salad Base
- 2 large ripe avocados, cubed
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (or 2 medium tomatoes, chopped)
- ¼ small red onion, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup minced cilantro or parsley
