Instructions
- For the dressing: In a small mixing bowl whisk together lemon juice, red wine vinegar, extra virgin oil oil, honey, garlic, cilantro, parsley, oregano, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large bowl gently toss together cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, and avocado with dressing.
- Serve shortly after preparing.
Notes
- *I like to use a multicolor blend of tomatoes for a more visually appealing salad but all red tomatoes work just fine too.
- **For a slightly milder flavor red onions can be rinsed under water and drained well to help remove harsh bite.
- ***Lime juice can be substituted.
- For a more refreshing salad you can use chilled ingredients and a chilled dressing (don't chill tomatoes longer than a few hours though, and wait to cut the avocado until ready to serve).
