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,

    I make this salad frequently. Thanks to a Bulgarian friend, I add some Feta Cheese. This gives it a nice tang.

      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! 🙂
