Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large salad bowl, begin by dicing the ripe avocados and chopping the Roma tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Next, slice the English cucumber and red onion thinly for a perfect balance of crunch and flavor. Toss in the chopped cilantro to add a fresh herbaceous note.
  2. Drizzle the olive oil and fresh lemon juice over the vegetable mixture in the bowl. Make sure to coat all the ingredients evenly.
  3. Gently toss the salad with a large spoon or salad tongs, ensuring the fresh veggies are well combined without mashing the avocados. Just before serving, season the mixture with a sprinkle of sea salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
  4. For optimal freshness and texture, serve the Cucumber Tomato Avocado Salad right after tossing.
