CUCUMBER TOMATO AVOCADO SALAD
- ยฝ small red onion – thinly sliced
- 1 large English cucumber – quartered lengthwise & sliced
- 1 pint halved cherry tomatoes – about 2 cups
- 2 medium avocados – peeled, pitted & diced
- โ cup crumbled feta cheese – divided
- ยผ cup chopped fresh cilantro (or dill)
FOR THE DRESSING:
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice – from about 2 small limes
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 2 cloves minced garlic (about 1 teaspoon)
- ยฝ teaspoon kosher salt
- ยฝ teaspoon black pepper
Directions:
- Place the sliced red onions in a small bowl & cover them with cold water (this helps remove some of the onionsโ harsh bite).
- In a small bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the dressing ingredients: Lime juice, olive oil, honey, garlic, salt, & pepper.
- In a very large bowl, place the cucumbers, tomatoes, avocado, half of the feta, & cilantro. Drain the red onion, then add it to the bowl. Pour the dressing over the top, then stir very gently to combine. Sprinkle the remaining feta over the top. Enjoy immediately or cover the bowl with plastic wrap & refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Give the mixture a gentle stir just before serving.
๐๐จ๐ญ๐:
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. The avocado will brown slightly & the vegetables will become more liquidy, but the salad will still taste delicious.
