Chef's Notes

Substitutions
Substitute red onion with white or yellow onion or shallots.
Use cherry tomatoes, garden tomatoes, or any tomatoes you love.
Substitute diced red bell pepper for the tomatoes.
Use lemon juice in place of lime juice.
Use basil or chives in place of cilantro.

Scoring the Avocado
To score the avocado, first cut it in half lengthwise. Remove the pit. With a paring knife, cut through the flesh (reaching the skin but not cutting through the skin) 3–4 times lengthwise and 3–4 times crosswise so you have roughly cut cubes. With a spoon, scoop them out into a measuring cup. You should need 1–2 avocados to get one cup, depending on the size of the avocados.
