Red Grape and Avocado Salad
Ingredients:
(yields 8 to 10 servings)
• 1/2 cup red seedless grapes, halved
• 1/4 cup grape tomatoes, halved
• 1/4 small red onion, halved and shaved (in half circles)
• 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
• 1/4 cup hothouse cucumber, cut in half moons.
• 1 teaspoon basil, chiffonade (about 4 medium sized leaves of basil)
• 1 teaspoon chopped cilantro leaves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon lime zest
• 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4-1/2 half jalapeno, finely diced (deseed for lesser heat)

Combine all ingredients except avocado. Gently fold avocado into mixture. Serve on top of chili, alongside fish, or use in Latin American dishes.
