Refreshing tomato avocado salad combines garden-fresh ingredients with zesty Mediterranean flair. Crisp vegetables and creamy avocado dance together, creating a light and tangy experience perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

    Main Vegetables:

  • 2 cups cucumber, diced (English or Persian cucumbers work best)
  • 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely sliced

    • Herbs and Seasonings:

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

    • Dressing Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (or lime juice)
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar

Instructions

  1. Chop Vegetables: Chop cucumber into uniform cubes, slice tomatoes in half, and cut avocado into neat, bite-sized pieces.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Transfer all prepared ingredients into a spacious mixing vessel.
  3. Add Onion and Herbs: Scatter thinly sliced red onion across the vegetable mixture. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley or cilantro over the salad for an aromatic touch.
  4. Toss Gently: Gently toss the ingredients to ensure even distribution of herbs and vegetables.
  5. Rest and Serve: Allow the salad to rest momentarily, enabling the flavors to meld and intensify.

Notes

  • Chill ingredients beforehand to keep the salad crisp and refreshing, especially on hot summer days.
  • For a smoother texture, use ripe but firm avocados that will hold their shape when diced.
  • Dress the salad just before serving to prevent the avocado from browning and keep the vegetables looking vibrant and appetizing.
  • Customize the salad by adding protein like grilled chicken or feta cheese for a more substantial meal option.
