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:

      Hi Amy, this salad is the prettiest when you make it before serving. If you need to make it a couple hours ahead, make sure to refrigerate.

    I have substituted basil for the cilantro as well. Yummy. Also add poached chicken to this and I take it to work for the whole week.

    I like using Braggs Apple Cidar Vinegar as an option to lemon and lime. It keeps the avocado a long time, especially if you do you use any metal to cut the avocado–that darkens it. (Use plastic or ceramic.) It stays for three days that way. We use it as a day to day side that way.

    We use parsley instead of Cilantro,and I alternate between lime or lemon. We lov both. I also use black olives,this batch also adding bacon bits. Since reading this on your blog over the winter,I now make it every week. If I dont make it, it now feels like I’ve forgotton something major-its that good. A casserole dish full lasts hubby and I roughly, 3 meals. I still havent gotton the hang of doing the Avocardo yet…but its messy fun.

    I made this salad as a light lunch item and my wife loved it. I only had half a cucumber so I added half a zucchini to add a nice crunch factor. My knife skills aren’t great so it isn’t as nice looking as the pic but it tasted great.

    Can this be made in advanced with the avocado? If I wanted to prep some for the week, how long do you think it will keep?

      Hi Chris, to be honest, we’ve always finished it the same day it was made but it does refrigerate well for a day. Several readers have reported great results on day 2. The lemon juice keeps it fresh.

    Thank YOU!!! I made this recently for my girlfriends and it was a HUGE hit! Everyone took some extra home – that was the only negative because I had no leftovers for myself… must double next time!!!
    Just wondering if there is any specific reason you use English cucumber – only asking b/c not always available around me, would regular ones ruin the whole thing?

    My hubby doesn’t like cilantro, so I usually just leave it out of recipes, but then often feel like “something’s missing”. Thank you so much for offering an alternative to cilantro at the end! Can’t wait to try the fresh dill.
