A vibrant and refreshing salad combining crisp vegetables and creamy avocado, perfect for a light meal or side dish.
Dice the ripe tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts and preserve the tomato's juices.
Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
For a decorative touch, use a crinkle cutter for the cucumber slices.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Dice it into cubes and add to the bowl.
To prevent the avocado from browning, you can toss it in a little lemon juice before adding.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sea salt, and freshly squeezed lemon juice to make the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the salt or lemon juice to your preference.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables in the mixing bowl and gently toss to combine.
Be gentle when tossing to avoid mashing the avocado pieces.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh herb like parsley or basil for added presentation.
