Units:

1 medium red onion
3 large ripe tomatoes (multicolored if desired)
2 avocados
1 medium cucumber (English cucumbers preferred)
20g chopped cilantro
60ml lime juice
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

Slice the onion thinly and soak in water while preparing other ingredients to reduce the strong flavor.
Chop cucumbers into bite-sized pieces. Dice the avocado. Cut tomatoes into wedges, keeping seeds intact. Finely chop the cilantro.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and gently mix. Serve immediately with a slotted spoon. Allow to stand at room temperature if preparing ahead. Eat the same day, as leftovers don't keep well.
