Ingredients:
- 1 ripe avocado
- 200 g smoked salmon
- 1 medium tomato
- 1/2 red onion
- 1 lime (juice)
- 1-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: fresh coriander leaves for garnish

Preparing the dressing:
Start by making the dressing. In a small bowl, mix the lime juice with the olive oil, a generous pinch of salt, and pepper. You can also add a splash of soy sauce or chili sauce for an extra flavor boost. Using a fork or a whisk, mix the ingredients well until you get a smooth dressing. This dressing will help keep the vibrant color of the avocado, preventing quick oxidation.

Preparing the ingredients:
Peel the avocado and cut it into large cubes. Use a sharp knife to avoid mashing the fruit. Try to work quickly, as avocado oxidizes rapidly, turning brown. Place the avocado cubes in a large bowl and immediately drizzle them with the prepared dressing to protect them from oxidation.

Cut the smoked salmon into thin strips so that it easily integrates into the salad. Wash the tomato and cut it into cubes, and slice the red onion thinly. Add all the ingredients to the bowl with avocado and gently mix, being careful not to crush the avocado. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Serving:
For an attractive presentation, you can arrange the salad on individual plates, garnishing it with fresh coriander leaves. This avocado salad with salmon can be served as is or alongside toasted bread or crackers for a pleasant contrast of textures.

Possible variations:
- Instead of smoked salmon, you can use canned tuna or even boiled chicken breast for a meat version.
- Add ingredients like green or black olives, cucumbers, or bell peppers for extra crunch and varied flavors.
- You can make the salad more substantial by adding quinoa or brown rice.
