Ingredients
- 1 large English cucumber
- 10 ounces grape tomato or cherry tomato
- half of a medium red onion
- 2 avocado ripe
- ¼ cup lemon juice or lime juice, fresh
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for oil-free, omit or sub aquafaba; see Notes, optional
- salt
- black pepper
Optional ingredients:
- ⅓ cup fresh herbs such as cilantro, basil, parsley, or dill, finely chopped
- 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas rinsed and drained
- ¾ cup vegan feta cheese crumbled
Instructions
- Cut the cucumber into quarters lengthwise, then slice into chunks. Halve the tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion. Tip: if the onion smells harsh, place in a bowl of cold water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry. Place all in a large serving bowl.
- Cut the avocados in half through the stem end. Gently pop out the seed by pressing your thumbs against the skin-side. Peel and chop the avocados. Squeeze half of the lemon/lime juice over the avocado and gently toss. Add it to the bowl.
- Add the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss everything together. Taste and add more lemon or lime juice, salt, and pepper, if desired. Serve now or cover the bowl and chill for 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- Variations & Subs
- Make-ahead - slice the cucumber, tomatoes, and onion, and keep refrigerated. Wait until just before serving to add the avocado, lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper.
- Mediterranean - add finely chopped fresh parsley and basil and crumbled vegan feta cheese.
- Mexican - add roasted corn and poblano pepper, lime juice, cilantro, and vegan queso fresco.
- Oil-free - instead of olive oil and citrus juice, try this oil-free Italian dressing.
- green onion instead of red onion
- white wine vinegar instead of lemon or lime juice
- sliced jicama or radishes in addition to or instead of cucumber
