Cucumber Tomato Avocado Salad is one of my absolute favorites!

How to chop cucumber?

For this recipe I wanted nice bite sized squares.

• Peel the cucumber
• Slice lengthwise in half
• Slice each halt lengthwise into 3-4 strips
• Chop perpendicular to cuts to form cubes

How to cut the onions?

I went for strips of onion for this salad but feel free to chip into cubes!

• Peel onion and section off ¼- ½ of it
• Slice a small portion off the side to make a nice flat edge
• Slice thin pieces of onion off then roughly chop the onion into various sizes

How to cube avocado?

• Cut avocados in half and remove the pit either with a knife (carefully!) or a spoon
• Slice through the flesh of the avocado in horizontal and vertical lines to form cubes without slicing through the peel
• Use a spoon to scoop out the avocado

How to cut tomatoes?

• Use a serrated knife to slice the tomatoes into ~8 even slices
• Cut those slices into cubes

Do I have to use Roma tomatoes?

Nope! Cube any tomatoes you have or if using smaller tomatoes like grape or cherry then simply slice them in half!

Not a fan of cilantro or onions?

Leave them out! This would still be a tasty cucumber avocado tomato salad!

How to store leftovers (if you have any!)?

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container and refrigerate. Eat within 2-3 days.

This is truly a super easy recipe that won’t disappoint! It’s healthy, flavorful and delicious! Give it a try!

Recipe Notes

Lisa’s Tips

* Red onion can be really strong so start with a ¼ cup chopped onion then add more if you want it.
*Refrigerate and store in an air tight container for 2-3 days. Avocado will start to brown after 2-3 days (even with the added lemon juice).

I made this recipe for part of my Hearthstone inspired series! I call it my Shudderwock salad because like the card (that gets played again and again) you will want to make this again and again!
