Scale
Vegetables and Herbs
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, diced avocado, finely chopped red onion, and chopped fresh cilantro.
- Make the Dressing: In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper until well combined to create a light, tangy dressing.
- Toss the Salad: Pour the dressing evenly over the vegetables and gently toss everything together to ensure all ingredients are coated without mashing the avocado.
- Serve or Chill: Serve the salad immediately for the freshest flavor or chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use ripe but firm avocados to avoid a mushy texture.
- This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- Adding a sprinkle of feta cheese or toasted nuts can enhance flavor and texture.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on personal preference.
