Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium cucumber, sliced into thin rounds or half-moons
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley, finely chopped

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and dry all fresh produce. Peel and dice the ripe avocados. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Finely chop the red onion and fresh herbs.
  2. Combine the Ingredients: In a large salad bowl, gently toss together the avocado, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and herbs. Be careful not to mash the avocado to maintain a chunky texture.
  3. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice over the salad. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then mix lightly to coat everything evenly.
  4. Chill or Serve Immediately: Serve immediately for the freshest flavor or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Choose avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure but are not mushy for the best texture.
  • Toss diced avocado with lemon juice immediately to prevent browning and maintain freshness.
  • Use fresh cilantro or parsley for bright herbal notes; dried herbs will not provide the same flavor.
  • Adjust salt, pepper, and lemon juice as you go to achieve your preferred balance of flavors.
  • Fold salad ingredients gently to keep avocados intact and preserve the salad’s texture.
