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:

    This is also a Lebanese recipe except we don’t use cilantro and we put garlic in the dressing. You could use parsley, if you wanted to.

    EXCELLENT RECIPE! Of course, I have not tried one of your recipes we did not think was outstanding. Paired this recipe with your Oven Roasted Baby Red Potatoes and steak bites last night and it was absolutely delicious. Making your Corn Chowder recipe this week. Thanks for all the great taste experiences!

    This is my go to salad. I make it every day especially after my Costco run. However, I do omit the red onion because my family is not a fan of them. Besides that, BEST SALAD EVER!!! Natasha, I love your recipes!!!

      Hi Cristina, it depends on how much you love dill (I would aim for 1-2 Tbsp), so add it to taste.

    I made this tonight minus the cilantro. The store was out. It was absolutely delicious just the way it was! I was surprised how the lemon juice and voo stayed mixed and was so yummy. With a mix of celtic sea salt and fresh ground pepper to top it off it made a complete meal on its own! This is a keeper!
