My Cucumber Tomato Avocado Salad is So Good!
Of all my avocado salad recipes, this one may be the simplest. And it’s probably the one I make the most often because it’s just easy and flavorful. I love how the dill lemon vinaigrette tastes with this Cucumber Tomato Avocado Salad, and how it all comes together in one bowl. In the summertime, it’s a great side dish to go with whatever I’m tossing on the grill. Salmon, shrimp, chicken!
Happy Cooking!

Cucumber Tomato Avocado Salad Ingredients
- Tomato: I usually use Roma tomatoes (you may also see them sold as plum tomatoes), but if they aren’t available, any type of tomato will work. I also like cherry or grape tomatoes because they are small and easy to eat.
- Avocado: Be sure to use a ripe avocado that is soft to the touch but not mushy. If you need help check out my guide on how to cut an avocado.
- Cucumber: I like to use a nice, crisp English cucumber for this salad. You could also use a regular cucumber, but you may want to peel it first.
- Red onion: If you are not a fan of onions, you can leave them out or sub in green onions instead.
- Lemon juice: I prefer fresh lemons, but if you only have lemon juice concentrate, it will work. You can also use lime juice or red/white wine vinegar.
- Extra virgin olive oil: A good quality extra virgin olive oil is a must for this salad. I like to use a light-tasting olive oil so that it doesn’t overpower the other flavors.
- Dill: I love the flavor that dill adds to the cucumber, tomato and avocado. If you don’t have dill or you aren’t a fan, you could try parsley, cilantro or basil instead.
- Salt and pepper: I keep the seasonings for the dressing simple and just use salt and pepper.
Popular Additions
- Add some protein. Grilled chicken, shrimp skewers, air-fried salmon or chickpeas would all be delicious additions.
- Make it a meal. Add some quinoa, farro or orzo to make this salad a complete meal.
- Top with cheese. Sprinkle some shaved Parmesan or crumbled feta on top.
- Add more veggies. Sliced bell peppers, radishes and grilled corn would work nicely with this tomato onion avocado salad.

How to Make Cucumber Tomato Avocado Salad
My Best Tomato Avocado Cucumber Salad Tips
- Cut the avocado, tomatoes, and cucumber into similar-sized pieces. This will make everything easier to incorporate.
- Be gentle when tossing the salad. Slowly mix it with a small spoon so that you don’t mash the avocados.
- Season to taste. Don’t be shy with the salt and pepper or dill. This salad really benefits from a more full-bodied vinaigrette, so be sure to taste it before serving.
- Prepare 30 minutes before serving. This is just enough time to let the flavors meld, but also keep the avocado from turning brown.
- Serve chilled, but not too cold. You want it a little above room temperature so that the flavors really come alive.
Serving Ideas
This salad makes a great side dish for your favorite mains, and it’s a great addition to a cookout. Try serving it to accompany other summer dishes like:
