Recipe | Cucumber Tomato Avocado Salad

Servings: 1 person as a main dish or 2 for a side

Ingredients:

1 small cucumber, skin mostly peeled then cut in bite sized pieces
1 avocado, cut in large bite sized pieces
1 or 2 tomatoes, peeled of skin, squeezed of seed juice, cut into bite sized pieces
Drizzle of vinaigrette of your choice (or: balsamic, raspberry or sherry vinaigrette)
Drizzle of oil of your choice (I had grapeseed oil on hand; or: avocado or olive)
Sweet basil, mint, parsley (optional but recommend; minced, to taste)
Splash of lemon juice (also optional but recommended)
Salt and pepper to taste

Supplies:

Sharp knife
Cutting board
Bowl
Eating tool

Instructions:

Prepare the cucumber, avocado and tomato as mentioned in the ingredients list. I add them right to the bowl as I go. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine. Enjoy with a side of pickled eggs or a turkey sandwich.

Tips:

I don't know of an easier salad. Its refreshing, easy to make, and surprisingly filling. I like to put it in mason jars and take along for a picnic or creek side lunch.

You certainly don't need to peel and squeeze the tomatoes. It's just my new personal preference.
