Ingredients
Scale
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Salad
- 1 pound Roma tomatoes, chopped
- 1 English cucumber, chopped
- 2 avocados, chopped
- ½ medium red onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: In a large serving bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is well combined and emulsified.
- Combine salad ingredients: Add the chopped Roma tomatoes, English cucumber, chopped avocados, sliced red onion, and fresh dill on top of the dressing.
- Toss gently and serve: Gently toss all ingredients together to combine evenly, being careful not to mash the avocados. Serve the salad immediately for the best freshness.
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container for no more than 2 days because the avocado will brown over time.
- Make Ahead: The dressing can be made up to 7 days in advance. The salad ingredients can be prepped up to 1 day ahead, but add the avocados and dressing just before serving to maintain freshness.
- Use ripe but firm avocados to prevent mushiness when tossing.
- If fresh dill is unavailable, substitute with fresh parsley or cilantro for a different flavor.
