Avocado Salad

Last summer avocados were so expensive I didn't get any. And I love avocados too. It was very sad. But I've already found some for $1.00 each! Yay! Avocados in the house! Bob and I love avocados just cut up with a little lemon juice, salt and pepper. But this salad is great and is a favorite here! This recipe makes quite a bit so you can munch on it for several days.

Avocado Salad

2 ripe avocados
2 tomatoes
extra sharp cheddar cheese, cubed
lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste

Cut avocados lengthwise all the way around. Twist the two halves and pull apart. You can either spoon out the pit or cut slightly into it with your knife and turn slightly. The pit will come out with the knife. Cut diamonds in the avocado, being careful not to cut through the skin. Insert a kitchen tablespoon and pull out the chunks. Place in a large bowl. Repeat for the second avocado. Cut the tomatoes into large diced pieces and place in bowl with avocados. Add the cubed cheese.

Add two teaspoons fresh lemon juice or two capfuls of lemon juice. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Stir to mix and chill for about an hour.
