- Prepare the Vegetables: Start by washing all your vegetables thoroughly. Dice the cucumber and tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. If the cucumber has thick skin or large seeds, you may want to peel or deseed it for a smoother texture. Dice the avocado just before assembling the salad to keep it fresh and prevent browning.
- Combine the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cucumber, tomatoes, and avocado. Add the thinly sliced red onion for a bit of sharpness and crunch.
- Dress the Salad: Squeeze the juice of one lime or lemon over the salad. The citrus juice not only adds a zesty flavor but also helps to keep the avocado from browning. Drizzle the olive oil over the salad and gently toss everything together to coat the ingredients evenly.
- Season and Garnish: Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste. If you like, sprinkle some fresh cilantro or parsley over the top for a burst of color and an extra layer of flavor.
- Serve and Enjoy: This salad is best served immediately while the avocado is fresh and the vegetables are crisp. It pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, fish, or as a stand-alone dish for a light and healthy meal.
