Instructions
- Step 1: Dice 1 large avocado into 1/2-inch cubes and place in a medium bowl. Add 1/4 tsp sea salt and gently toss to coat.
- Step 2: Cut 1 lime into wedges, squeeze 1/4 cup juice over the avocado, and stir to prevent browning.
- Step 3: Finely chop 1/4 cup red onion and add to the bowl with 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro. Toss until evenly distributed and lime juice is absorbed.
- Step 4: Gently fold in 1/2 cup coconut water, stirring until the mixture is moist but not soggy.
- Step 5: Chill for 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and enhance electrolyte absorption.
