    Tomato Avocado Cucumber Salad ingredients

    • Cherry tomatoes – Use red, yellow, or your favorite cherry tomato.
    • Cucumber – I like using an English cucumber for this recipe because they have fewer seeds.
    • Mozzarella – Mozzarella pearls work well with this recipe but you can also cube fresh mozzarella.
    • Avocados – Creamy avocado pairs perfectly with the crisp cucumber.
    • Onions – Diced green onions add a nice flavor to the salad.
    • Basil, parsley – Use fresh herbs for the dressing.
    • Lemon – Fresh lemon juice adds a nice tang and also help to prevent the avocado from turning brown.
    • Extra virgin olive oil – Used to make the dressing.
    • Salt and ground black pepper

    How to make Avocado Cucumber Tomato Salad

    Step one: Mix together extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, basil, salt, and ground black pepper.

    Step two: Add cherry tomatoes, cucumber, mozzarella pearls, and green onion to a large bowl.

    Step three: Pour dressing over tomato mixture and toss to coat.

    Step four: Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve and then top with chopped avocado and toss.

    Make sure to wait until you are ready to serve the salad before adding the avocado. This will help it from turning brown.

    Cucumber Avocado Tomato Salad substitutions and additions

    This cucumber salad is very versatile and can be adjusted to your taste. Here are a few suggestions:

    Substitutions – Try substituting green onion with red onion. You can also substitute the mozzarella with other cheese like feta cheese, or cubed Monterey Jack.

    Additions – Add fresh cilantro and corn to give this salad some Tex-Mex flavor. You can also add in other vegetables like diced bell peppers or banana peppers.

    How to store

    Store any leftovers in an airtight container. This avocado salad will last about 2 days before the avocado starts to get brown and mushy.

    Cucumber Tomato Avocado Salad FAQs

    Should I peel cucumber before eating?

    Peeling the cucumber is a preference. If using an English cucumber, you don’t need to peel. You can also leave the peel on a regular cucumber, however they tend to have a more waxy texture skin.

    Can I make this salad ahead of time?

    You can prep everything in the salad ahead of time except for the avocados. Wait to add them until ready to serve.
