  • For Salad
  • 1 avocado, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces

  • 12 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • 1/4 c loosely packed cilantro leaves
  • 3 ounces ricotta salata cheese parmegiano reggiano cheese

  2. In a mini food processor or blender, add scallions, 1 tsp jalapeno pepper, cilantro, lime juice, and salt.

  12. Place avocado in center
