Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 large English cucumber, sliced and quartered
  • 1 avocado, chopped
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Dressing Ingredients

  • 1 + 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice (roughly from 1/2 lemon)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the halved grape tomatoes, sliced and quartered cucumber, chopped avocado, and chopped cilantro. Gently stir to mix the ingredients evenly without mashing the avocado.
  2. Prepare Dressing: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
  3. Toss Salad: Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to evenly coat everything with the dressing. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use ripe but firm avocado to avoid mushiness.
  • This salad is best served fresh to prevent the avocado from browning.
  • Adjust salt and lemon juice to taste based on preference.
  • Optional: Add a sprinkle of feta cheese or toasted nuts for extra texture and flavor.
