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 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!

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

      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.
