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:

      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. 🙂

    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 🙂
