Avocados are in (or on) our toasts, dips, smoothies, and egg breakfasts. How often do we make a simple salad from it, though? This avocado, tomato, and cucumber salad is a great start in making avo salads if you’ve left it out of salads before. Using just one large avocado (and a couple other veggies), this salad can shine at lunch or dinner beside a main course. Summer BBQs can be the first time you pop out this easy avocado salad. Healthy side dish salads are well loved when paired with a good protein filled main dish.
It’s always a good idea to eat some extra veggies and fruits.
Fresh produce brings in fresh nutrients to your body. This delicious salad gives you lycopene from the juicy tomatoes, hydration with the cucumber, potassium in the ripe avocados, and quercetin in the red onion. A quick dash of salt and pepper add flavor and extra virgin olive oil combines everything smoothly. This cucumber tomato avocado salad is a great one to have with any fresh meal. It’s so quick and easy to put together.
When I can, I love to keep a summer garden to have the best results in the freshest season. Healthy salads are made better with produce right from your own garden. I love knowing that I can grow my own simple ingredients at home!
Let’s talk about dressings.
This salad doesn’t need anything else added into it beside salt, pepper, and olive oil for the dressing. This homemade dressing uses only at-home on hand ingredients, which makes my life simpler, and can make yours simpler, too. An olive oil dressing can be mixed up at any time of year, since it has timeless and simple ingredients for an easy recipe.
