4 medium roma tomatoes, seeded & diced
1 medium red onion, minced
4-5 clove freshly garlic, minced

2 or 3 pinch sea salt, to taste

Steps:

1. In a large bowl (preferably one with a lid), combine cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, and diced avocado. Stir until all the avocado has been coated with some of the lime juice (this will prevent the avocado from browning).
2. Add all other ingredients. Stir to combine.
