Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 2 medium avocados
  • 2 medium cucumbers
  • 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 medium onion
  • 1/3 cup chopped cilantro

Dressing

  • 2 tbsp. lime juice
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 3/4 tsp. sea salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Dice and slice vegetables: Dice the avocados and slice the cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and onion into bite-sized pieces to ensure even mixing and easy eating.
  2. Chop cilantro: Finely chop the cilantro to release its fresh flavor and aroma, adding a vibrant green color to the salad.
  3. Combine ingredients: Place all the diced and sliced vegetables along with chopped cilantro into a large bowl to prepare for tossing.
  4. Add dressing: Pour the lime juice, olive oil, sea salt, and pepper over the vegetables in the bowl to infuse the salad with tangy and savory flavors.
  5. Toss salad: Gently toss all ingredients together with a spoon or salad tongs, ensuring the dressing evenly coats the salad without mashing the avocado.
  6. Serve: Transfer the salad to serving bowls or plates and enjoy immediately for the best freshness and texture.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm avocados to prevent the salad from becoming mushy.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on preference.
  • This salad is best served fresh to maintain the avocado’s color and texture.
  • Can be paired with grilled chicken or fish for a more substantial meal.
  • For added crunch, consider topping with toasted nuts or seeds.
