Avocado Salad
Whether I'm piling it onto toast, serving it alongside grilled chicken, or eating it straight from the bowl, it never disappoints.
I like healthy salads that are packed with flavor, from my chickpea salad, mango shrimp to salmon cabbage salad, I'm sure this avocado salad will become one of your favorites too.

Ingredients
- Avocados - Creamy, rich, and so satisfying. Always pick avocado that is ripe but still holds its shape when diced.
- Cherry tomatoes - Bursting with sweetness! Grape tomatoes or diced Roma tomatoes work just as well.
- English cucumber - The perfect crunch factor. Regular cucumbers don't work well (the skin is too tough); choose English or small Persian cucumbers.
- Red onion - A little sharpness to balance out the creamy avocado and sweet tomatoes.
- Lemon juice - Brightens everything up and keeps the avocado from browning. Lime juice works well too!
- Olive oi - Choose good quality virgin olive oil. Enhances flavors and adds a touch of richness.
- Salt & black pepper - The simplest way to make all these ingredients shine.

How To Make Avocado Salad
- Prep everything: Give your veggies a good rinse. Cut the veggies leaving the avocado for last. Add to a mixing bowl.
- Dress it up: Squeeze in fresh lemon juice, drizzle olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Mix gently: Give it a light toss-don't mash the avocado!
- Enjoy! Serve immediately or chill for a bit to let the flavors meld.
Can I add protein to make it a meal? Absolutely! Grilled chicken, shrimp, or even canned tuna are great add-ins.
Tips
- Use perfectly ripe avocados - Too soft, and they'll turn mushy. Too hard, and they won't blend well.
- Fresh herbs = more flavor - Cilantro, parsley, or basil make this even better.
- Feta cheese? Yes! - A little crumbled feta adds the best salty contrast.
- Balsamic glaze twist - A drizzle gives it a deep, slightly sweet flavor boost. Try my balsamic glaze for this; it's out-of-this-world delish!
- Like it spicy? - A pinch of red pepper flakes or diced jalapeño adds heat.
- Not a fan of red onion? - Swap for green onions for a milder taste.
- Crunchy twist - Serve with tortilla chips for a chunky guacamole-style dip.
- Don't overmix! - Gently fold everything together to keep those avocado chunks intact.
- How do I keep avocados from turning brown? Lemon juice helps, and storing the salad in an airtight container minimizes browning.
Freezing And Storing Instructions
- To Store. Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. The avocados may brown slightly, but the lemon juice helps slow it down.
- To Make Ahead. If prepping in advance, mix everything except the avocado and add it right before serving for the freshest results.
