I brought this salad to my parents house yesterday and everyone loved it! This is definitely going into the regular rotation all summer long. Think: homegrown cucumbers and tomatoes :).
Ingredients for Tomato Avocado Salad:
This salad is loaded with veggies; juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumber, creamy avocado and the cilantro and lemon juice make the whole salad so fresh and flavorful!
P.S. If you aren’t keen on cilantro, fresh dill is a good substitute
How to Make Cucumber Tomato Avocado Salad:
1. Place chopped tomatoes, sliced cucumber, sliced red onion, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro into a large salad bowl.
2. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp olive oil and 2 Tbsp lemon juice. Toss gently to combine. Just before serving toss with 1 tsp sea salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper
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 salad can be made all year long, but it’s especially delicious this time of year when cucumbers and tomatoes are in season. Do you grow any of your own food?
This is really good. My son and father fell in love with it right after me. I will keep making it. Summer or winter doesn’t matter.
Very true! It’s great year round :).
So good! What little leftover we had did keep well for one day too. I added a touch of feta cheese as well and it was fantastic. Thanks for sharing!
Feta does sound fantastic!
Delish!
can you make this ahead of time. Like mason jar salad??
I haven’t tried that so I’m not sure. It would get a little juicy I imagine. A couple of my readers have said that it carries over well to the next day but it has always gotten eaten right away whenever I make it 🙂
It was delish.. 5 stars…
Thank you Laura! 🙂
I made it but I added grilled sweet corn and it was Delicious ? thanks for the recipe!
oooh that sounds lovely! 🙂
I’m a bachelor who loves to cook but experiments a lot especially when I don’t have the exact ingredients. Do you think sliced dill pickles would work? I’m going to try & let you know.
Do you mean canned dill pickles? I don’t think that would work well.

Hello Natasha,
Me and my wife Amanda really enjoyed your avacado, cucumber & tomato recipe.
Thank you for your instructions as I was unsure what to do with an avicado and a hungry lady making her way back from work.
Best regards,
Bittage
I’m so happy to hear that you and your wife enjoyed the salad! Thank you for the awesome review!
Great salad recipe!
Can field cucumbers and field tomatoes (now available at farmer’s markets) be substituted for the English cucumber and Roma tomatoes?
Yes! Absolutely! I think that would taste even better.
Was wondering how many calories this is? My husband and I are trying to count our calories for our diet and was wondering you knew how many were in each serving. Thanks in advance.
