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 :).
Ingredients for Tomato Avocado Salad:
This salad is loaded with veggies; juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumber, creamy avocado and the cilantro and lemon juice make the whole salad so fresh and flavorful!
P.S. If you aren’t keen on cilantro, fresh dill is a good substitute
How to Make Cucumber Tomato Avocado Salad:
1. Place chopped tomatoes, sliced cucumber, sliced red onion, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro into a large salad bowl.
2. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp olive oil and 2 Tbsp lemon juice. Toss gently to combine. Just before serving toss with 1 tsp sea salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper
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?

Pat, thank you and feel free to subscribe to my email updates here.
How long does it keep for? I would like to try this for my lunches, but wouldn’t want it to go to waste.
From my experience with my other cucumber and tomato salads, I think the cucumbers and tomatoes might get mushy. I haven’t tried this salad in advance because it always gets eaten right away. 🙂
this is a great salad my family loved it.
Thank you Esther! I’m so glad your family loved it 🙂
This looks like perfection! How light and refreshing during the summer. Thank you for ahother great recipe to try!
You’re very welcome. I hope you enjoy it!
Здорово, настоящий летний салат. Обязательно попробуем с авокадо и кинзой.
Hi Galina! I hope you enjoy it!! 🙂
It’s funny that you posted this the day after we had this salad. My husband started adding avocado to almost every salad. This past Sunday we tried it with a touch of balsamic vinegar in addition to the oil, so we ended up skipping the lemon juice. Still turned out well. Fresh salads are always my favorite, so summery. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for sharing how you make yours. Its great to know it works with balsamic vinegar if I don’t have a lemon on hand 🙂
Summer is coming and I’m craving avocados!
What a lovely salad. I could easily make this my dinner tonight.
Thank you Coco, I hope you’ll have a lovely dinner :).
What a lovely salad! I would love a big bowl of this right now!
Thank you Shelby :). I’m with you! I could eat and eat and eat this salad without getting tired of it 🙂
Such a perfect summer salad! I usually eat all of my salads with avocados, I get pretty excited when I see other people make theirs with avocados too 🙂
We’ve been obsessed with avocados lately! Have you done anything creative with avocados recently?
This is totally a keeper my husband loves anything with cilantro:)
My husband is the same way 🙂
Natasha, where did you get your salad bowl? This is something that I would like to own but do not know where to buy a similar one. Thanks!
I actually found this at TJ Maxx (home goods). They come and go at that store.
Delicious! We make that one a lot with BBQ chicken and often turning it in to a wrap 😉
