Everything You Need for Tomato Avocado Cucumber Salad

2 cups ripe tomatoes, diced
1 large cucumber, diced
1 ripe avocado, diced
1/4 red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste

The ripe avocado is the star of this dish, bringing a creamy texture that pairs beautifully with the crisp, hydrating cucumber. Fresh cilantro adds a herbal brightness that ties all the flavors together.

How To Make Tomato Avocado Cucumber Salad Step by Step

In a large bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, and red onion. Be gentle with the avocado to avoid mashing it.
Add the chopped cilantro to the bowl, scattering it evenly over the vegetables for a fresh pop of color and flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad and use a large spoon to gently toss the ingredients, ensuring everything is lightly coated without breaking the avocado.
Serve the salad immediately for the freshest taste, or let it chill for up to 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Meal Prep and Storage Tips

If you’re preparing this salad ahead of time, keep the avocado separate until just before serving to prevent browning. Once assembled, store the salad in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 24 hours for best freshness.

If you’ve already mixed the avocado in, a squeeze of lime juice can help slow down oxidation. Avoid freezing this salad, as the fresh vegetables and avocado don’t hold up well to freezing and thawing.
