Ingredients
- 2 avocados
- 1 pound cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes
- 1 cucumber
- 1/2 red onion
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt
- pepper
- fresh herbs optional (to taste)
Instructions
- Start by washing all the produce thoroughly to ensure they are clean and ready for use.
- Cut the English cucumber into quarters lengthwise and then dice it into bite-sized pieces. Add these crisp cucumber chunks to a spacious bowl.
- Half the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the cucumber. Their vibrant red hue will beautifully contrast with the green avocado.
- Peel and dice the creamy avocados, then gently add them to the bowl with the cucumber and cherry tomatoes.
- Thinly slice the red onions to achieve delicate, paper-thin slices. Incorporate these into the bowl with the other ingredients.
- Juice a lemon and sprinkle its zesty freshness over the contents of the bowl. This step adds a delightful tang to the salad.
- Enhance the salad's richness and flavor by drizzling a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over the ingredients.
- Finally, season the mixture with a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
- Gently mix all the ingredients until they are well combined. Once mixed, refrigerate the salad for a refreshing and chilled serving.
