Why you’ll love it

While this easy avocado salad is pretty great any time of the year, it’s a wonderful summer salad with in-season tomatoes! The sweetness of ripe tomatoes, crunch of cucumbers and red onions, and creaminess of avocados goes so well with the simple lime dressing.

I’m a big fan of how this cucumber and avocado salad goes with any main course. It’s a fantastic recipe to keep in your back pocket to add a little freshness to any meal. The bright, vibrant flavors are just so crave-worthy, and there are no fancy ingredients needed!

What you’ll need

Tomatoes – use either grape or cherry tomatoes
Cucumber – I like mini cucumbers, but if you can’t find them, long English works
Avocados – choose ones that just yield when given a gentle squeeze
Red onion – this variety is mild, so it’s great raw in salads
Dressing – fresh lime juice, good-quality olive oil, and salt & pepper are all you need to enhance all the veggie goodness!

Use a sharp chef’s knife to make the chopping go quickly. I love this cutting board.
I keep leftover lime in this lime saver so that it stays fresher for longer.
These scissor salad tongs are great for dishing up salads.

Pro tip

It’s a good idea to be generous with the salt & pepper to bring out the flavors in this simple salad. That’s actually why salads at restaurants taste so good!

How to make tomato avocado cucumber salad

This is an overview, and full ingredients & instructions are in the recipe card below.

Wash and prep your vegetables. I like to just cut the tomatoes in half and roughly dice the avocado. Add them to a large salad bowl.
Add the dressing ingredients to the bowl. Taste, adjust as needed, and enjoy.

Substitutions and variations

This avocado and tomato salad is very flexible! Throw in any extra vegetables you’ve got in your fridge or garden.
Some fresh herbs would also be great, e.g. cilantro or basil.
I recommend adjust the lime juice and olive oil quantities to suit your tastebuds until the ratios are to your liking.

What to serve with this salad

The beauty of this salad is how versatile it is! Serve it with my Easy Ranch Chicken, this Creamy Lemon Parmesan Cod, Red Wine Braised Short Ribs, or these irresistible Baked Pork Chops.
For a vegetarian meal, pair it with my Easy Pesto Pasta, this Creamy Corn Pasta, or Potato Vegetable Soup.

Leftovers and storage

I like this one best when it’s fresh, but leftovers will keep in the fridge for a day or two.
If making this salad any amount of time ahead, I recommend chopping everything up and storing it separately from the dressing. Wait to cut up the avocado until right when you need to serve the salad.
