Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 3 avocados, peeled, pitted and diced
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
- 1 large cucumber, sliced into bite-sized pieces
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup chopped cilantro
Dressing
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar (or red wine vinegar)
- ½ lemon, juiced (about 1 ½ tablespoons)
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the diced avocados, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro into a large mixing bowl.
- Add Dressing: Pour in the olive oil, white wine vinegar, and freshly squeezed lemon juice over the ingredients. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Toss Gently: Carefully toss all the ingredients together to coat everything evenly with the dressing, ensuring the avocado pieces remain mostly intact.
- Serve Immediately: Once combined, serve the salad right away to enjoy the fresh textures and flavors at their peak.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocados to prevent mushiness in the salad.
- If not serving immediately, cover and refrigerate, but note the avocado may brown after a short time.
- You can substitute cilantro with fresh parsley or basil if preferred.
- For added crunch, sprinkle toasted nuts or seeds on top before serving.
