Crisp, crunchy cucumbers, with ripe and soft avocado and garden fresh tomatoes make up this refreshing and quick cucumber avocado salad.
Due to the amount of chopping required in this recipe, it's not as neuro-friendly, unless you've got a neat little chopping tool, but it comes together so fast and it's perfect for a one day shin dig.

What Can I Serve This Salad With?
I feel like it would be easier to list what you can't serve this salad with, haha. But I won't do that, here's some good ideas, though!
- Easy meaty vegan meatloaf.
- Some cheesy quesadillas (vegan, of course!)
- Messy meatless sloppy joes.
- Some easy pan fried tofu.

What Ingredients Will I Need?
You can of course switch up some of the vegetables if you wish or even add more! The dressing is homemade, however you can use a store-bought dressing if you'd like.
Change up the vegetables with things like:
- carrots
- zucchini
- celery
- cabbage or coleslaw mix - see an example in my other cucumber salad
- bell peppers
- onions
Please see recipe card for exact measurements.
How Can I Store This Salad?
This salad is a same-dayer. Meaning, you need to make it the same day and consume it the same day. You can try to have it the next day, however it may be mushy and much more watery than before. You've been warned.
I do not recommend freezing.
Step By Step Instructions
Step One - Peel the cucumbers. You can leave the skins on if you wish. I save the peels in the freezer for vegetable stock.
Step Two - Dice the cucumbers into small chunks.
Step Three - Dice tomatoes.
Step Four - Add the cucumber to a bowl and then cut, open, score and scoop an avocado into the bowl. Cutting the avocado while it is still in the skin saves having to use a cutting board, just be careful not to cut yourself.
Step Five - Add the tomatoes.
Step Six - Add in the herbed dressing.
Step Seven - Mix everything together, serve and enjoy!
