Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cucumber, diced (English or Persian cucumbers work best)
  • 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely sliced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped

For the Dressing:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice (or lime juice)
  • 1 tsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables:

  1. Dice the cucumber, halve the tomatoes, and dice the avocado. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add the sliced red onion and chopped parsley or cilantro.

2. Make the Dressing:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

3. Toss the Salad:

  1. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and gently toss to combine, ensuring the avocado doesn’t break apart.

4. Serve:

  • Serve immediately as a side dish or light meal.

Notes

  • Storage: This salad is best enjoyed fresh due to the avocado. If making ahead, prepare the dressing and chop the vegetables, but add the avocado and toss just before serving.
  • Variations: Add crumbled feta cheese, diced mozzarella, or chickpeas for extra protein.
  • Herbs: Switch parsley/cilantro with fresh basil or dill for a different flavor profile.
