• 3 Tbsp Fresh Cilantro
• 2 Roma tomatoes, diced (or 5 grape tomatoes, any kind will work)
• 1 tsp Garlic, minced
• Optional add-ons: jalapeno, cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic salt, corn, cheese, pineapple, mango, etc.

How to pick a ripe avocado:
🥑 Ripe avocados will have a skin color that is dark green to nearly black.
🥑 Ripe avocados will have skin with a bumpy texture (not smooth).
🥑 Ripe avocados will yield to gentle pressure without leaving indentations or feeling mushy.
🥑 Peel back the small stem on the top of the avocado... if it comes away easily and you find green under it, that’s a good, ripe avocado. If you pull back the stem and find brown underneath, the avocado is overripe. If the stem doesn’t come off, it is not ripe enough to eat yet.
