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?
loved the salad…ten stars

That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
I made it this evening, didn’t have cilantro, used fresh parsley. Didn’t have red onion, used green onion. Added a touch of balsamic vinegar, and fresh crack Blk pepper. It was so good! Served atop a giant Romain lettuce leaf. 5 stars!
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us and nice job improvising 😀.
I loved the salad. I helped my mom and we made it together. I want to try all your recipe.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us and I hope you’ll discover many new favorites here 😀.
This avocado, tomato, cucumber & onion salad is great…but…add about 12 cold cooked shrimp to it & it’s a full meal. This is my favorite ‘go to’ meal when I don’t want to cook..I always keep frozen cooked, cleaned shrimp in my freezer for just this purpose.
Juanice, I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your nice review and for the shrimp suggestion! 😀
We made this salad for dinner today! Very yummy. Will make again! Thank you Natasha
I’m so happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing your great review.
Can I have a calorie count per ingredient. and grams of each item. In the cucumber tomato avocado salad
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!
one trick is to marinate the avocardo in the lemon or lime for awhile-then put it in the bigger bowl,it helps it stay fresher longer.
Thanks for sharing that great tip!
I made this along with the baked salmon with garlic and dijon tonight and they are both keepers! Natasha, I will be back to your website . . . you have delicious recipes. And both of these are healthy to boot. Thanks!
Karen, That’s just awesome!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review and I hope you’ll find many more favorites here 😀.
OMG!! I fixed this salad tonight, & it was soooooo good!! I got it off of Facebook. My daughter is from Ukraine & loves it when I find recipes from her native country.
Tammy, welcome to the site 😀. I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us and I hope you’ll find many more favorites here.
Excellent, refreshing and flavorful salad! This is a winner!
Thank you so much for the awesome review! 🙂
Made this fresh salad tonight and my family loved it!
Thank you.
I’m so happy to hear that! Thanks Kelly! 🙂
how many calories in one serving?
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!
I really liked it before I added the salt and would make it again and maybe just add a dash of salt or leave it out altogether.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
This was delicious. So fresh and light. I can’t wait to use tomatoes from the garden. This will be a summer staple for sure. Thank you.
That’s so great Kerri, It sounds like you have a new favorite! 🙂
So I’ve read that chopped onion helps avocado stay good longer. Since this has both ingredients, do you think it’ll be good for a couple days at least?
Mine was always eaten before that but I’ve had readers say that it was even better the next day so it could possibly last 2 days.
Made it last night, and it’s amazing today! Thank you for sharing!
Yes!!! I’m so happy to hear that 🙂
Do you happen to have a calorie count on this recipe? I want to make it but am on strict calorie counting and am wanting to know how much else I can/need to add to the meal to get my count.
Thanks!
Hi Tricia, 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!
Made it with my hot wings and it was a hit with the little family they could not keep thier paws oUT of the bowl
Sid, I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us 😀!
FABULOUS! My family & I loved the cilantro in the salad! Thank you so much for sharing a wonderful recipe!!
I’m so happy to hear that Brenda! Thank you for sharing your great review! 🙂
How far in advance (3hours?) can I make this salad so the avocado don’t turn brown before serving?
Yes 3 hours will be ok. We always eat it the same day but I’ve had quite a few reader write in to tell me that it was even better the next day.
Absolutely delicious!! This recipe was so simple but immensely satisfying, I can hardly stop eating it. Thank you so much for posting this healthy gem.
Vickie, thank you for such a nice review and you are welcome 😃.
