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:

    Natasha THANK YOU for the outstanding recipes! I come back weekly to your website. I grew up in America but love learning to cook the Russian dishes my mom used to make when I was a little girl. BUT I’m absolutely SHOCKED 😲 that you do not have Monte on here. An absolute staple in the russian-ukrainian diet. You even have aspic on here for crying out loud! Where are the Monte?!?!? I would be internally grateful to you for a step-by-step video recipe for манты. 😇

      Hi Tatyana, we don’t own the specific steamer to make manti so we stick with dumplings (pelmeni) for now 🙂 I have a recipe for the manti, I just need to get my hands on the steamer 🙂

    This was an amazing salad. Just wanted to make something simple with flavour and this salad was just that. We are in PV Mexico and so I was able to get fresh produce. I added a yellow pepper and along with the salt and pepper I also sprinkled Salsa en Polvo ( chilli ) and WOW!!! This will be our meal for the next 5 weeks we are here.

    Hey Natasha,
    How long do I cook an 8.26 turkey and what temp? I’m using your recipe with the lemon and parsley.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

      Hi Sharon. Both of my Turkey recipes have Lemon and Parsley. Are you Referring to this Thanksgiving Turkey Recipe? Or this Juicy Roast Turkey Recipe. I would follow the same recipe instructions and temperatures but adjust the time accordingly. An 8-pound turkey will take less time than a 12-pound turkey & cooking temps based on the USDA which now says the safe poultry temp is 165˚F but the deeper thigh parts really should be at 170˚ to be fully cooked through. Once you have reduced the oven to 350˚F, you will bake about 13 min for every pound of turkey.

    Does the avocado brown? I am always afraid of that

      Hi Jennifer spraying it with a bit of lime or lemon juice should save them from getting brown.

        Hi Natashsha, will spraying the corriander and onions with a bit of lime juice also work in keeping them from getting brown? Will advil also keep the corriander and onions from getting brown as well? Your salad sounds really good and simple.

    I’ve seen this link from a friend’s post on his wall.

    This is great! Simple and exquisite. My folks would definitely would love this. My mom keeps asking me any avocado recipes, I can add this to her list since she always make veggie salads every two (2) weeks.

    I can share this to my co-workers on the office, especially my boss.

      Hi Sharon. This recipe calls for 4 servings as a side. So 8 times the amounts listed would be enough as a full side for all 30 people. 🙂

          Hi Sharon! We have a handy tool for that so you don’t have to calculate. If you scroll down to the bottom of the recipe card and hover over the “4” next to Servings, you can adjust the recipe for how many servings you need and it will automatically display the amount of ingredients you need for that many servings. I hope that helps!
