I brought this salad to my parents house yesterday and everyone loved it! This is definitely going into the regular rotation all summer long. Think: homegrown cucumbers and tomatoes :).

Avocado Salad Video Tutorial:
My husband and I ate this entire batch of cucumber tomato salad with avocado in one sitting, paired with roasted red potatoes and grilled shrimp skewers. I shoveled most of the salad into my mouth before I remembered the shrimp and potatoes on my plate; mmming and smiling all the way through. We were both smitten.
P.S. This salad is also super healthy and it fits pretty much every diet out there. Check out the nutrition label below:

This salad can be made all year long, but it’s especially delicious this time of year when cucumbers and tomatoes are in season. Do you grow any of your own food?
I love this salad !! Just soo perfect for a family gathering 🤗
I’m so glad to hear that, Ella!
I’m making this for lunch tomorrow. Can I cut up the veggies tonight and finish it with the salt and pepper tomorrow? Or would it be best to do it all in the morning?
Hello! For veggies, we prefer everything fresh and be prepared on the same day. But if you need to make it ahead, you can prep the veggies but it’s best to add the avocado and final seasoning just before serving to maintain freshness.
Would dill and cilantro together clash too much or could I just add a combination of both of them?
Hi Kathy! I prefer one or the other, but feel free to experiment with those flavors.
Delicious and refreshing easy to make! Will make again
I really enjoyed this recipe so refreshing
Now I’m going to try your other cucumber and avocado recipe see which one I like better🥑🥒😋
This was even better than expected! Such a beautiful, perfect combination of ingredients, in JUST the right amounts. So so so good!!! Thank you!!!!
So happy to hear that, Michelle!
I don’t like cilantro, so just leave it out – this recipe is a staple in my house!
Hi Natasha, thank you for the recipe, when I made it at church I got compliments that it was so good and so I’m going to make it again for this Sunday Christmas service. Just wondering when you say 1/4 cup 1/2 bunch cilantro, is half a bunch the same as quarter cup? Because I googled 1 bunch is about 1 cup cilantro, so not sure how many bunches to buy. Also if I use substitute eg dill, parsley etc is it still 1/4 cup dill etc?
Hi Lisa! I’m so glad it was a bit. Yes, I used 1/2 bunch which ended up being about 1/4 cup measured out for me. If you’re using other herbs you may want to start with less and add more as you prefer. Dill has a strong flavor, I don’t think you’d need to use as much.
