Cucumber Tomato and Avocado Salad

Ingredients

  • 2 cucumbers (Persian, or part of an English cucumber (organic))
  • 2 tomatoes ((sliced, just under-ripe is best for salads))
  • 2 medium avocados ((ripe, peeled and sliced))
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil ((or more))
  • ⅛ tsp Kosher salt ((or sea salt, to taste))
  • 1 tsp red wine vinegar ((good quality, at least 6% acidity))

Steps

  1. 1

    Place the sliced cucumbers, tomatoes and avocados in a bowl, then drizzle on the olive oil.

  2. 2

    Next, sprinkle with some Kosher or sea salt. You can always add more later if needed.

  3. 3

    If you are going to omit anything in this salad, skip the vinegar, but do NOT omit the salt, this is what gives it flavor.

  4. 4

    Now add a little vinegar to taste, if desired. You could substitute lemon juice if preferred.
