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 Natasha, this sounds delicious and I want to give it a try today. However – don’t like cilantro and haven’t got any parsley or dill to hand. Do you think it would work with basil?

          Hi Una! Fresh basil will work too, really any fresh herb. One of my readers reported she loved it using fresh basil.

    This salad! So different from any I’ve ever had, and so good! I kept wanting more. My avocados were not the best, so I only had one to add. Then, I remembered the guacamole I had in the fridge! I just glopped some into my serving, and it tasted great, so next time, I stirred the guacamole into the salad. It mixed with the dressing and was delicious! Thanks for the recipe.

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this salad!! A big hit on Easter! I’ve made this a few times, and it never disappoints!
    Can chopped green onion be substituted for the red onion? There’s allergies with the red onion in our family!

    Hello from Lancaster county, PA. You said to use “English” cucumbers. Would it work with “Amish” cucumbers? (In the Amish culture if you are not Amish you are English!)

      I didn’t know there was such a thing as Amish cucumbers. It’s just a variety of cucumber we prefer since they don’t need peeling. In the summer we use homegrown and I suppose those would be our Ukrainian cucumbers since we are Ukrainian (wink).

        An English cucumber may be the same as an Armenian cucumber. The are dull green, ridged/grooved and, like you said, don’t need peeling.

    Absolutely delicious! Easy & simple & super tasty! It was exactly what I had on hand & quite filling. I reduced the amount somewhat & it was plenty for two. The dressing is so simple -it’s perfect! Thank you for helping us eat better- and making it so easy! ❤❤❤

    I love the simplicity of the recipe and the intenseness of the flavors. My only change was to use fresh basil instead of cilantro. Definitely going into the weekly rotation for the summer/fall.
