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?
I should think this must be eaten up at once after making or else the avocado would turn black, wouldn’t it??? Sounds delicious, though….
Hi Linda, there is enough acidity in the salad that the avocado doesn’t really discolor.
Do you have the nutritional and calorie count info on this recipe?
Hi Margie, I don’t typically include calorie counts, but if you go to caloriecount.com you can plug in the ingredients and servings and figured out pretty easily that way. I hope that helps!
Had this at our friends house last night with white chicken chili. Couldn’t eat all I put on my plate so asked for a doggie bag ( good thing these are our best friends ) THEN i asked her to add some more while she was at it. Got home about four hours later and broke it out for a midnight snack. Still couldn’t eat it all so just put the plate in the fridge with no cover or anything. Finished it this afternoon and it was just as good if not better! This will be my go to salad when serving Mexican food! AWESOME!
Thank you so much for sharing your awesome review! 🙂
How long does it keep for?
We’ve always eaten it the same day but a couple of my readers have reported that they thought it was even better the next day after refrigeration.
Great salad!! The touch of avocado is perfect
Thank you Irene :).
Please can you give the nutritional info for this recipe?
Yummy and fresh! I made it for my family, and we all enjoyed it. Sooo fresh! My husband felt it needed the addition of some acid, so he splashed in some red wine vinegar, which I think did this already great recipe justice! Try it!
We grow our own tomatoes and, boy, did this salad bring out their full tomato-y, summer-y flavor!
P.S. The salad tastes even better the next day, after flavors continue to mingle.
Yu-um!
I’m so happy you enjoyed the salad! I’ll have to try your suggestion with the red wine vinegar. I don’t typically include calorie counts, but if you go to caloriecount.com you can plug in the ingredients and servings and figured out pretty easily that way. I hope that helps!
Excellent! This is now my favorite avocado recipe! I like the addition of the cucumber y cilantro. Thank you! 🙂
You are welcome Jeff, Its also one of my favorite salads with avocado :D.
Would Italian dressing work, in place of the oil?
It would have a different flavor, but I still think it would taste good.
I used Italian Dressing and it was wonderful.
That’s a great idea! Thank you for sharing! Did you also add the cilantro with the dressing?
Found this on pinterest and made it tonight. It was absolutely delicious! Five stars for sure! Next time I would only use table salt and not sea salt though. My whole family loved it including kids ages 4, 7 and 9!
I’m so happy you all loved it! Thank you for an awesome review!
Was great. Easy to make too. Was making it for lunch in the morning, my husband ate it right away. He couldn’t wait till then. 5 star

Curtis, thank you for such an awesome review, your comment is like music to my ears :D.
do You know the serving size per person?
I didn’t measure exactly but I’m guessing 4 servings is about 1 to 1 1/2 cups of salad per person.
