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:

    I’m trying this for the first time. How long will this last? Like can I make it a day in advance and how long will it keep in the fridge?

      Hi Jessica, I think it’s best fresh (vibrant & crisp) but I’ve had readers report great results with leftovers the next day. I haven’t tested it beyond that since it always gets eaten so quickly!

    So perfectly, simply dee-lish! I omitted the cilantro (wasn’t in the pantry). And I marinated the onion in vinegar for about twenty minutes. I’m not a huge onion fan and I find that marinating it takes the bite off. Next time I’m just going to make this salad, get a nice loaf of crusty, French bread and have at it!

      Alja, I’ve found that – instead of marinating the onions, just soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes and then drain well. It takes the bite off of them and doesn’t add any extra flavor.

    We were invited to our friends’ house for dinner, we brought this to go alongside their steak enchiladas. Fantastic! I didn’t alter it at all, though I did accidentally forget the oil.

    Is Cilantro the same as Coriander ?

      Hi Justine, coriander is the seed of cilantro, so if you plant coriander seeds, leafy green cilantro will grow :). Cilantro looks like parsley but has a very different flavor. I think fresh dill or evenly a little finely chopped parsley would work ok with this recipe.

      Hi Mona, any cucumber would work fine.The waxy ones should be peeled before adding or you can add the little cucumbers. I just wrote that in for standard sizing of cucumbers so others know how much I used in the recipe 🙂
