Ingredients
  

  • 4 ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges
  • 4 persian cucumbers, sliced into coins
  • 2 ripe avocados, cubed
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Method
 

  1. Place the ripe tomatoes, Persian cucumbers, and cubed ripe avocados in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, and kosher salt until well emulsified.
  3. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and gently toss, being careful to avoid smashing the delicate avocado cubes.
  4. Serve immediately for the best freshness and flavor.

Notes

- For the creamiest avocado salad, ensure your avocados are ripe but still slightly firm to prevent them from becoming mushy when tossed.
- To prevent the avocado from browning if making ahead, add an extra squeeze of lemon juice, which acts as a natural antioxidant.
- Make-ahead tip: Prepare the vegetables and dressing separately. Combine them just before serving for optimal freshness and texture. Store cut vegetables and dressing in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
