Method
 

Prepare the Salad Base
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, diced English cucumber, diced ripe avocados, finely diced red onion, and chopped fresh parsley. Gently toss to mix the ingredients.
Whisk the Lemon Vinaigrette
  1. In a small separate bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Continue whisking until the dressing is well emulsified and thoroughly combined.
Combine and Serve
  1. Pour the prepared lemon vinaigrette over the tomato, cucumber, and avocado mixture in the large bowl. Gently toss the salad until all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavors and textures.

Notes

For the best flavor and texture, this tomato cucumber avocado salad is best enjoyed fresh. Avocado can brown quickly once cut, so prepare and serve close to mealtime. If you need to prepare it slightly in advance, keep the vinaigrette separate and add it just before serving. For an added touch of flavor, you can crumble a bit of feta cheese or goat cheese over the top before serving.
