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:

    Cilantro ruined the whole salad: ( next time I’ll try with some other greens

      You’re the first to say that. You must not be a fan of cilantro :). I think it makes the salad and adds a nice freshness, but I think you could omit it and still have a very tasty salad.

        Oddly, it’s genetics. (Learned this when my son took HS biology.) For some people, cilantro tastes like soap. Fortunately, I’m not one of these. Which means I also enjoy very hoppy beer.

          Wow I had no idea! That does make sense why people either like it or absolutely hate it. My Dad doesn’t like cilantro either. I’ll ask him if he’s in the soapy category ;). Thank you for sharing that with me! I guess I’ll be adding a substitute option like parsley whenever possible. 🙂

            One of my sons said cilantro tastes like soap to him, but it doesn’t to anyone else in the family.

    Very good (served with a vegan chili). I opted for the dill and added more lemon and a splash of vinegar for my taste, but this will be added to my collection as a definite favourite. Thanks!

    Delicious! As I sit and write this review I’m on my second helping. I didn’t have cucumber or cilantro so I subbed in fresh parsley and it is still fantastic. The bright flavors have me thinking summertime… A needed escape during Midwest winters! I will definitely make again.

      The acidity in the recipe keeps them from browning. 🙂

      I think they would taste nice in this salad but it wouldn’t last as long as without them. Without adding croutons, this salad still tastes great the next day with refrigeration but if you added croutons you’d have to eat it soon after.

        Made this over the weekend. I loved it!! Thanks for the tip about the croutons. I put them in only when I was ready to eat a bowl of salad. And yes the salad tasted great even after refrigeration. Awesome recipe. Thanks for sharing.

        Ok, no problem. I use My Fitness Pal, just wondered if you had them handy! The salad was fabulous by the way. I am not one who typically likes raw onion because I think the taste over powers others but it was not so bad in this salad. I loved it!

    I love this salad! I made it for my family this Christmas break and it was a hit. Now that I am back to cooking for myself, I am curious to know if you have had this salad the following day as leftovers. Do you think it will keep well overnight? Thank you!
