It\u2019s really easy to make this avocado salad. It\u2019s just a matter of chopping up your veggies and tossing them together in a bowl. Salads like this one and my\u00a0Cucumber Salad with Greek Dressing<\/strong>\u00a0are easy to whip up and don\u2019t require any cooking, and come together in 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

I also like to add canned or cooked chickpeas and mixed greens to this salad to make it more healthy and protein-rich. Check my favorite Chickpea Cucumber Salad<\/strong>\u00a0from my blog.<\/p>\n

    Ingredients for Avocado Salad Recipe<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Avocado: <\/strong>Be sure to use a good quality ripe avocado but not a mushy or too firm texture for this recipe. I have used 1 Hass Avocado.<\/li>\n
    • Cucumber:<\/strong>\u00a0Choose cucumbers with low-seed or seedless variety. I like to use English cucumber for this recipe. Persian cucumbers work too.<\/li>\n
    • Tomatoes<\/strong>: Grape or cherry tomatoes are my favorite, but diced regular, or Roma tomatoes also work well. They add sweetness and acidity to the dish.<\/li>\n
    • Onion<\/strong>: red onion works best in salads, so that\u2019s what I used. If you don’t like it, feel free to substitute green onions instead.<\/li>\n
    • Herbs:<\/strong>\u00a0Fresh Cilantro is a must for this recipe. If you don’t have cilantro feel free to use dill leaves, parsley, or basil instead.<\/li>\n
    • Extra-Virgin<\/strong> Olive oil<\/strong>: a good quality extra virgin olive oil is a must as it brings out flavors.<\/li>\n
    • Lime juice<\/strong>: Be sure to use fresh lime\/lemon juice if you can, which has the best flavor and adds a bit of tang.<\/li>\n
    • Seasoning<\/strong>: salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Make Ahead and Storage<\/h2>\n
          \n
        • Make-Ahead:<\/strong> You can prep the veggies (except for avocado), herbs, and dressing a day before serving. When you\u2019re ready to serve, cut the avocado and toss the veggies, herbs, and dressing together.<\/li>\n
        • Storage:<\/strong>\u00a0This avocado salad is best enjoyed when served fresh. Leftover salad will keep in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours when stored in an airtight container.\u00a0After that, avocados will be quite brown.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Tips for the best Avocado Salad<\/h2>\n
            \n
          • Use firm, ripe avocados: \u00a0<\/strong>Choose good quality ripe avocados but not mushy, otherwise, they will get squishy in the salad.<\/li>\n
          • Cut veggies into the same size:\u00a0<\/strong>Cutting into the same sizes improves the visual appeal of the salad and also ensures that all the flavors make it into each forkful.<\/li>\n
          • Prepare with fresh ingredients:\u00a0<\/strong>Choose fresh ingredients like veggies, herbs, and lime juice for the best flavor.<\/li>\n
          • Be gentle while tossing the salad<\/strong>: Toss the salad gently with a spoon so that you don’t mash the avocados.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
