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:

    I actually make this salad or similar on a regular basis. I use cherry tomatoes and instead of cilantro (I call it coriander) I use flat leaf parsley as I don’t like coriander. Lots of pepper and olive oil. This is a good low carb salad too.

      Hi Lance, you can start off with less and add per preference. I usually add this to taste. I love dill but it can be strong.

    This was absolutely amazing. Lots of Pepper and Salt for me and no corriander/dill. I also used scallion instead of red onion as none in. It was for my lunch – so I threw in some chicken breast pieces – BRILLIANT.

      Hi Patty, this is best enjoyed fresh. The avocado will start to brown and the other veggies become mushy. I have eaten it on the second day and it was fine, but definitely not as good as fresh. It may be possible to precut the cucumbers and tomatoes the night before, then add the avocado fresh with the rest of the ingredients on the day of…

    Hi Natasha, I love this salad. I’ve tried to like cilantro but, not a fan. I use fresh dill and add a bit of crumbled feta. P.S. love your recipes.

      Hi Theresa! That is understandable, there are many people who cannot tolerate Cilantro. Dill is a great substitution for this. Thanks for sharing. So glad you enjoy my recipes. 🙂

    This looks delish! Will it work for 25 people by simply increasing each ingredient ~x 6, or will that be overkill for certain ingredients? Thank you!

    I suggest making this several hours before serving so veggies can marinate a bit and the flavors can meld, especially the onion. Also add a splash of red wine vinegar or balsamic for more zest. Then add avocado chunks right before you serve it, not before, as it gets soggy and mushy.

    Hi Natasha!
    Can parsley be substituted for cilantro? I like cilantro, but my husband not so much. I can’t wait to try this recipe. From the reviews and your pictures, it looks so good!

      Hi Dawn, I realize some people have an aversion to cilantro, Bummer! You can use chives instead or very finely chopped fresh parsley.

    This is a wonderfully refreshing salad, especially in the summer. Such a simple brut flavorful dressing. I jazzed it up by adding salad shrimp, fresh red bell pepper and finely chopped purple cabbage. It was the main course for dinner. Absolutely delicious.
