Tomato Avocado Cucumber Salad

Who said salads need lettuce? They don’t!

This was earth-shattering for me when I “discovered it” in the first year I learned to cook. Real “earth shattering” information, huh? Hahaha

I love throwing together simple quick salads like this Tomato Avocado Cucumber Salad.

There is some chopping required to get everything perfectly bite-sized (and kid-sized) for this tomato avocado cucumber salad. But hey, just whip out whatever Netflix show you’re currently binge watching, chop up the heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, onion and avocado and toss them all in the world’s easiest salad dressing made with only olive oil and red wine vinegar.

Ok, you’ll also need salt and pepper, but that’s always a given.

And just like that…you’ve consumed 10 extra minutes of your latest Netflix affliction (oh wait, you watched more than 10 minutes after you finished chopping, didn’t you?!) and made the best summer salad ever.

Now you can enjoy your creation…and continue watching your show because you saved time not having to wash and chop lettuce! You’re welcome.

Recipe Notes

• Make Ahead: You can make the dressing up to 7 days in advance and you can prepare most of the salad up to 1 day in advance. Just add the avocados and the dressing when you’re ready to toss it.
• Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container for no more than 2 days since the avocado will brown by then.
