Simple AND tasty – that’s how I would describe this recipe. It’s a refreshing, no fuss salad that can be thrown together in just 15 minutes. Plus I’m also loving the combination of cucumber and avocado right now. Freshness in a bowl – add a bit of creamy dressing and you’ve got me.

And how magical are those colours? This Cucumber Tomato Avocado Salad just looks like it would be good for you!

With a light sour cream dressing plus coriander / cilantro and a hint of chilli, it makes such a fresh, crunchy side for just about anything. Either as your veg side dish to match with tonight’s protein of choice, or for the next get-together / bbq / potluck / cookout etc.

Not a chilli fan? Go ahead and leave it out – it still tastes great!

Don’t like coriander / cilantro? Substitute fresh flat leaf parsley.

Avocado selection – I think avo selection is crucial for this recipe – but then I ALWAYS think avo selection is crucial! Ripe – of course, but not too soft or they will get really mushy.

BTW – you should see the look of fear that comes over my husband Peter’s face if I ask him to pick me up an avocado from the store – hilarious!

Enjoy!
