This garden-fresh tomato, cucumber avocado salad is sprinkled with fresh herbs and finished with lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. It’s a delightful salad that screams summer and could not be any easier to make.
Tomato, cucumber avocado salad is one of my go-to salad recipes during the hot Summer months. It’s such a simple recipe and is packed with flavor.
If you have a garden, there is a good chance you have some of these ingredients on hand already. Otherwise, any local market will do the job.
I love serving this salad alongside my cast-iron salmon or my easy grilled chicken. It’s also delicious served on its own or tossed with some hard-boiled eggs or garbanzo beans!
How To Make Tomato Cucumber Salad
The beauty of this salad is its simplicity! It’s so important to buy the freshest, most in-season ingredients you can find.
- Chop your tomatoes and cucumber into bite-sized chunks.
- Peel, seed, and chop two ripe avocados.
- Thinly sliced half of a small red onion.
- Place everything in a large bowl and add fresh herbs (basil, cilantro, parsley, and mint would all be delicious).
- Whisk together lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, fresh garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad, stir and enjoy!
Quick, easy, delicious, and nutritious. My kind of salad!
