Description
Avocado Salad is a refreshing and nutrient-rich dish combining creamy avocados, crunchy vegetables, and a tangy dressing, perfect for any meal or occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 red onion, finely diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Gather a large bowl and combine the diced avocados, cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, finely diced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Toss the ingredients gently to distribute everything evenly.
- In a small bowl, create the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. The lemon juice’s acidity will balance the olive oil’s richness, creating a harmonious flavor profile.
- Pour the prepared dressing over your vegetable mixture. Use a gentle hand to toss the salad, ensuring all components are coated without mashing the avocados.
- If you’re a fan of cheese, sprinkle crumbled feta over the top before serving. This adds an extra layer of flavor and creaminess to the dish.
Notes
For the best texture, dice avocados just before serving to prevent browning. Adjust the seasoning to taste; some prefer more lemon juice for added tang.
