Avocado Cucumber Tomato Salad
Description
The salad mixes chunks of creamy avocado with crisp Persian cucumber, juicy cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion for textural contrast. Chopped cilantro imparts a bright herbal note, while lime juice provides acidity to complement the richness of the avocado. Chaat masala seasoning, when used, contributes a distinctive tang and mild spiced flavor enhancing the salad’s freshness.
The ingredients are simply tossed together and served immediately to preserve the avocado’s texture and color, though brief refrigeration of up to 30 minutes is possible before serving. The salad works well as a light appetizer or refreshing side on warm days.
For best results, use ripe but firm avocados to keep pieces intact. If chaat masala is unavailable, it can be omitted or replaced with garlic powder and a simple dressing. Adding olive oil is optional, contributing a subtle richness.
