A big bowl of fresh salad is always a good idea, especially if it includes avocados and cucumbers!

Salads should not be boring. Nobody wants to eat a boring salad, which leads to great ingredients going to waste. We usually keep our salads pretty flavorful yet simple. Our favorites are Summer Salads, Greek chickpea salad, fattoush salad, salad shirazi , Mediterranean Salad Recipe and orange chicken salad. I will happily eat a big bowl of delicious and tasty salad loaded with fresh veggies any day of the week!

I love this tomato avocado salad as it puts a Mediterranean twist on a traditional combination with the addition of sun dried tomatoes and olives. This fresh salad is filled with juicy tomatoes and creamy avocados and is flavored with fresh lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil.

Notes and tips for making tomato cucumber avocado salad

• Use firm tomatoes and ones that don’t have too many seeds. Firm tomatoes are great for this salad as you’re going to stir them and they will still hold their shape.
• Use fresh avocados that are quite firm and bright green. Squeeze lemon on the avocados as soon as you cut them to prevent them from going black.
• You can also add some herbs such as dill, cilantro or parsley to this salad for more flavor.
• If you don’t like the flavor of raw red onions, simply leave them out.
• This avocado tomato salad is best served the same day. Add the salt and maybe some freshly ground pepper right before serving.
