Cucumber Tomato Avocado Salad (Easy!)
Cucumber Tomato Avocado Salad combines fresh, crisp cucumber slices with diced ripe tomatoes and creamy avocado, accented by red onion and fresh herbs like cilantro. Tossed with lemon juice and salt, the salad offers bright, balanced flavors with a mix of juicy and creamy textures. It works well as a refreshing side dish, especially in warm weather.

Ingredients
- 1 English cucumber (hothouse)
- 4-5 Roma tomato
- 1/3 cup red onion
- 2 avocado not overly soft, large, ripe
- 1/3 cup cilantro or parsley, basil, dill, etc, fresh
- 3 Tbsp. lemon juice fresh
- 1/4 tsp. salt
Instructions
- Slice cucumber into half moons (or smaller), chop tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion.
- Peel avocados and remove the pits. Dice into medium chunks.
- Roughly chop cilantro, large stems removed.
- Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add lemon juice and salt (use more or less to taste). Gently toss with a spatula to combine.
- Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes so the flavors blend and enhance before serving. You can also cover and refrigerate until ready to eat. (It's best served the same day otherwise the avocados tend to get a little mushy. I usually finish the batch within 2 days.)

Notes
- Adjust lemon juice quantity to taste or substitute with lime juice or various vinegars for different flavor profiles.
- Additions like garbanzo beans, sweet corn, bell pepper, or vegan feta can enrich the salad's texture and variety.
- Best served on the day prepared to avoid avocado becoming overly soft; salad can be refrigerated covered for up to two days.
- This recipe makes approximately 8-9 cups, ideal for multiple servings or gatherings.
