Start by washing the cucumbers and tomatoes. It’s important to remove any dirt or residues. For the cucumbers, peel them if you prefer a softer texture or leave the skin on for extra crunch. Cut them into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Next, take the avocados and cut them in half. Remove the pit carefully, and scoop the flesh out into a medium bowl. Be gentle to keep the avocado chunks intact.
Now, you’ll want to finely chop the cilantro. Its fresh flavor adds a delightful brightness to the salad. Once chopped, toss it into the bowl with the avocados.
Add the chopped cucumbers and grape or cherry tomatoes into the bowl. The colors will start to come together beautifully, showcasing a vibrant salad.
It’s time to dress the salad! Pour in the lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle the sea salt and black pepper over the top. This combination of flavors really elevates the dish.
Using a large spoon, gently toss all the ingredients together. You want everything to be evenly coated in the dressing without mashing the avocado.
Once everything is mixed, take a moment to taste your salad. Adjust the seasonings if needed, adding more salt or lemon juice to suit your preferences.
Serve the salad immediately for the best flavor and texture. It’s perfect as a side dish or a light meal on its own. Enjoy the freshness with every bite!
