Let’s talk about our main ingredients!

We combine an awesome combination of fresh ingredients to make this salad. These ingredients include tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and avocados. Yum! For tomatoes, you can use Roma tomatoes, also known as plum tomatoes, or you can use vine ripened tomatoes. You can chop your tomatoes into bite sized pieces, or you can cut them into wedges. For the cucumber, you can use either a regular cucumber or an English cucumber. I peeled my cucumber, but if you use an English cucumber, since the skin is thinner, you can leave the peel on if you’d prefer. I used a red onion to make my salad. It adds amazing flavor and color. Alternately, you can use a yellow onion or a white onion if you’d like. You can either dice or thinly slice your onion. Last, we add 2 chopped avocados, and they add amazing creaminess to this salad!

How do I make the vinaigrette for this cucumber tomato avocado salad?

The vinaigrette for this salad combines just a few simple ingredients, but results in a light and amazingly flavorful mixture that makes this salad shine! We combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried dill and oregano, salt, and pepper to make our vinaigrette. I love trying new olive oils, but my go-to is Kirkland’s organic extra virgin olive oil. It has a subtle hint of nutty flavor and is quite rich and flavorful. I used red wine vinegar for my salad, but you can substitute with white wine vinegar or champagne vinegar if you’d like. For seasonings, I used dried dill and dried oregano. You can absolutely use fresh herbs if you’d like. You can also add different herbs such as parsley or basil to make this salad. I suggest after making your salad, you give it a try and add more salt to taste.
