Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cup cucumber, chopped peeled if waxy; English or Persian preferred
  • 2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cup avocado, diced about 2 medium avocados
  • 0.5 cup red onion, thinly sliced rinse in cold water for milder flavor
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped or use parsley
  • 3 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh or use lime juice
  • 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced optional
  • 0.75 teaspoon kosher salt to taste
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Prep the produce: chop the cucumber and avocado, halve the tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion. Chop the cilantro.
  • Whisk the dressing in a large bowl: lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
  • Add cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro to the bowl. Toss gently to coat.
  • Fold in the diced avocado last to avoid mashing. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or lemon as needed. Serve immediately.

Notes

Best enjoyed fresh. If preparing ahead, toss everything except the avocado; add avocado just before serving. For extra richness, add 0.25 cup crumbled feta.
