Avocado Tomato Cucumber Salad
This Avocado Tomato Cucumber Salad is a fresh salad made with ripe avocado, crisp cucumber, and cherry tomatoes tossed in a light dressing.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 avocado, diced
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ red onion, diced
- ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Add the diced avocado, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion to a large mixing bowl.
- Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the vegetables and gently toss to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is evenly coated, being careful not to mash the avocado.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocados: Slightly firm avocados hold their shape better when tossed.
- Cut evenly: Uniform pieces help the salad look balanced and ensure every bite has a mix of flavors.
- Dress just before serving: Adding the dressing right before serving keeps the vegetables fresh and prevents excess moisture.
- Toss gently: Use a light hand so the avocado stays chunky and doesn’t become mashed.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve alongside Turkey Burgers, Honey Sriracha Chicken Skewers, or Gazpacho Soup for a fresh, complete meal.
