Ingredients

• Avocados: Creamy and nutrient-dense, they provide a rich texture. Choose ripe but firm avocados to avoid mushiness.
• Cherry Tomatoes: Add sweetness and a burst of color. You can use red, yellow, or grape tomatoes.
• Cucumber: Offers a refreshing crunch. Peel if preferred (especially if not organic), but the skin adds a nice texture if it is organic (lot of residue can be accumulated on the cucumber skin). 
• Red Onion: Thinly sliced for a sharp and tangy kick.
• Cilantro: Adds a herbaceous touch, but feel free to skip if it’s not to your liking.
• Dressing: Made with olive oil, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper for a light and zesty finish.

How to Make Avocado Salad
Prepare the ingredients by dicing the avocados, slicing the cucumbers and red onions, and halving the cherry tomatoes. Chop the fresh cilantro. Combine the avocados, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onions, and cilantro in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, and white wine vinegar. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Use a light hand to mix the ingredients, ensuring the avocados remain intact. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
