Quick and Creamy Avocado Tomato Salad with Cucumber

One of my favorite summer (or any other seasonal) salads is this excellent, light Creamy Avocado, Tomato, and Cucumber salad. Juicy tomatoes, Persian cucumbers, and a perfectly ripe avocado make a tasty and fresh salad!

Many salads are great for the hot summer days, but there is no better salad than using the ingredients straight from the garden. The juicy fresh tomato and cucumber right from the vine, and the avocado that I had to buy because avocados don’t grow anywhere near me, which is sad. I love growing fresh herbs. It’s a simple thing but makes a big difference in health. Do you grow any vegetables, fruits, or herbs in your garden?

A hearty salad goes a long way!

Fresh summer vegetables make amazing salads for those hot summer months. When you’re at a cookout or have a potluck, this refreshing salad is the perfect side dish to bring. It’s one of my favorite salad recipes for summer picnics or any other special occasion.  A large salad bowl of it will fly and be gone so quickly. With bright flavors and colors, it’s no wonder. You can also have it as a light lunch. 

This delicious salad is made with only the best fresh ingredients.  There’s no way to make a perfect summer salad without cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes, and the creamy avocado texture is the perfect addition!

Even if your vegetables are not from the garden, the tomato cucumber avocado salad recipe will still taste delicious, refreshing, and satisfying.

How to make the Creamy Avocado Tomato Salad with Cucumber

1: Prepare the fresh vegetables and herbs

• Slice the crisp cucumbers, fresh tomatoes, and ripe avocado into bite-size pieces. Then cut the onion and the fresh dill.  

2: Put ingredients in a bowl

• Place all the salad ingredients in a large serving bowl. 

3: Whisk up the dressing

• In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and lemon juice and add to the salad ingredients. 

4: Toss ingredients and serve

• Toss salad ingredients and dressing gently to combine. Just before serving toss with salt to your taste. Serve immediately and enjoy! 

How to store this refreshing salad

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 day in an airtight container. The avocado may brown slightly, and the vegetables will become more liquid, but the salad will still taste delicious. When you’re ready to serve again, squeeze a squirt of lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt.

Expert Tips 

• Before adding the onions to the salad, cut them into thin slices and then soak them in water for a few minutes. Drain and add to the salad. This helps to preserve the flavor and avoid the onion aftertaste.
• You can substitute the fresh dill with fresh cilantro.  
• Do not add too much lemon juice. Just a hint is enough for the citrusy flavor.
