Tomato Avocado Cucumber Salad

If you know me, you know I love avocados. If there’s a way to add avocados in a meal, you know I’m in. So, when I first created this salad, I made it as a fresh side to complement my family’s favorite grilled meats (like grilled chicken). But, once I realized how delicious it was, I began to pair it with literally anything and everything. Over the years, I’ve found it to be especially delicious with chicken fajitas, crispy chicken burritos, savory piroshky, and easy air fryer pork chops.

Making Tomato Avocado Cucumber Salad

I find the salad tastes the absolute best during the summer months when the veggies are the freshest and the most delicious (especially those taken straight from my own garden!). But that doesn’t stop me from buying the veggies at the store during the winter and still enjoying the salad in each season. Now, let’s fall in love together.

• Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper.
• Cut the veggies: Cut all the veggies into bite-sized pieces. The onions should be smaller than everything else. Place them into a large bowl.
• Toss it all together: Drizzle the dressing on the salad, toss, and serve immediately.

Essential Salad Tips & Tricks

• Choose the best veggies: When buying avocados, choose the ones that are nice and soft (or very slightly under ripe if buying them ahead of time). For tomatoes, I usually opt for Roma tomatoes but any variety works. Red onions are my favorite, but yellow or green onion are good substitutes, too. As for the crispy veggies, I love English cucumbers and bright red radishes.
• Prep only a few things ahead of time: Some portions of this salad can be prepped ahead of time, but not all. Feel free to prep the dressing and store it in a mason jar in the fridge for up to 1-2 days. As for the veggies, everything except the avocados can be cut and prepped a few hours ahead of time, but save the avocado cutting for last (or they will turn brown!). Toss in the dressing at the last moment, as well.
