Calories: 220kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound 16 ounces English cucumber, diced into ½-inch pieces
- 8 ounces avocado flesh diced
- 3 medium Roma tomatoes approximately 9 ounces total, diced into ½-inch pieces
- ⅓ medium yellow onion approximately 1½ ounces, finely diced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1½ teaspoons minced garlic
- ¾ teaspoon table salt added immediately before serving; adjust to taste
- ⅜ teaspoon black pepper
- 1½ tablespoons chopped fresh parsley optional
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables. Dice the unpeeled English cucumber and Roma tomatoes into approximately ½-inch pieces. Finely dice the yellow onion. Dice the avocado just before assembling the salad.
- Make the Dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, and black pepper. Set the salt aside until serving.
- Combine the Vegetables. Add the cucumber, tomatoes, and yellow onion to a large mixing bowl. Add the chopped fresh parsley, if using.
- Add the Dressing. Shortly before serving, pour the lemon-garlic dressing over the vegetables and toss gently until evenly coated.
- Finish and Serve. Gently fold in the diced avocado to avoid mashing it. Add the table salt immediately before serving, toss gently, and taste. Adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve promptly.
