Martha Stewart Show

This recipe was inspired by the tableside version prepared at Rosa Mexicano.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped white onion
• 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 1/4 teaspoons jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more for seasoning if desired
• 1 ripe Hass avocado, pitted, peeled, and coarsely chopped
• 3 tablespoons tomato, seeded and finely chopped

Preparation

Step 1

With a large mortar and pestle, mash onion, 1 tablespoon cilantro, jalapeno, and salt until smooth and juicy. Add avocado, and mash slightly (avocado should remain somewhat chunky). Stir in tomato and remaining 2 teaspoons cilantro. Season with salt, if desired. Use immediately.
