Prepare the vegetables: Wash the lettuce thoroughly and tear or chop it into bite-sized pieces. Place the chopped lettuce in a large salad bowl.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Add the diced tomatoes to the salad bowl with the lettuce. Ensure the tomatoes are ripe for the best flavor and texture.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 3
Gently add the diced avocado to the bowl. To prevent browning, you can toss the avocado pieces with a little of the lime juice before adding them to the salad, or add them just before serving.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 4
Dress the salad: Drizzle the freshly squeezed lime juice evenly over the salad ingredients. Season generously with salt to taste. If desired, add freshly ground black pepper.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 5
Toss gently: Using salad servers or your hands, gently toss the salad to coat all the ingredients with the lime juice and seasonings. Be careful not to over-mix, especially with the avocado, to maintain its texture.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 6
Serve immediately: Ensalada Colombiana is best served fresh to enjoy the crispness of the lettuce and the creaminess of the avocado. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
