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:

Thanks for sharing. I love avocado. Will be munching on this all summer!!!!
You and me both! Thanks Jocelyn 🙂
Love this, I will be making it again for sure. I also added green peppers too it and used the sunflower oil. Thanks for the good healthy recipe!
Those add-ins sound so good! I love the idea of bell peppers and sunflower oil does taste great in salads.
I’m not sure what dill or cilantro taste like what is the difference
I think this salad would taste great with dill also. Dill is alot more mellow in flavor than cilantro. Cilantro is usually used for salsas and guacamole and works really well in this salad. Also, how did you hear about this recipe? I’ve had a huge amount of readers coming to this post and am trying to figure out which Facebook account shared it. Thanks! 🙂
