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 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.

      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!

      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.

    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!

    Would Italian dressing work, in place of the oil?

      It would have a different flavor, but I still think it would taste good.

    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 didn’t measure exactly but I’m guessing 4 servings is about 1 to 1 1/2 cups of salad per person.
