Cucumber Tomato Avocado Salad, a colorful and delicious salad filled with tomatoes, cucumbers, mozzarella cheese, avocado, herbs and lemon dressing.
Cucumber tomato avocado salad is my go-to summer salad. If I need something to bring to a BBQ or party, this recipe is always at the top of my list.
We had family in town for this past holiday weekend which meant I needed to stock up on food and supplies. I loaded up the kids and went to our local BJ’s Wholesale Club to get everything on my list. I enjoy shopping at BJ’s Wholesale because it beats supermarket prices and saves me money. Also, they accept all manufacturers coupons-Winning! Not to mention it saves me time and is super convenient. And let’s face it, with 3 young kids, time is a precious thing. I would rather be spending time hanging with my family than shopping.
BJ’s Wholesale has everything I need from food to garden and pool supplies. Since we had company staying with us, I filled up my cart with food for the weekend and toiletries for the guests. In BJ’s fresh produce section I was able to find beautiful ripe tomatoes, cucumbers and avocados for my favorite cucumber tomato avocado salad. BJ’s Wholesale offers a delicious variety of produce, meats, deli and bakery items. Everything you need for weekly shopping.

Ok, back to the salad! It is filled with fresh ingredients that are perfect for your summer party. It is delicious on it’s own or served alongside some grilled chicken or a steak.
