How to Make Cucumber Avocado Tomato Salad
- Slice cucumbers– Slice cucumbers. You can use fresh garden cucumbers (our favorite), mini cucumbers or English garden.
- Cut tomatoes– Cherry tomatoes may be halved in this recipe or any other tomatoes cut into cubes or sliced.
- Slice onion– Thinly slice red onion or sweet onion.
- Avocado– You’ll have to divide the avocado. Cut in half and remove the core. Cut each half in half again. Reserve ¼ of the avocado for the dressing.
- Prepare dressing– In a blender, add the avocado, mayo, sour cream, milk, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper and blend until creamy. Stir in the herbs.
- Serve– Pour dressing over salad and mix.
Make-Ahead
This salad is great to make ahead of time, just don’t slice the avocado until you are ready to serve the salad.
The dressing may be measured out in advance, then just blend when the avocado is added.
Serving Suggestions-
Because the salad is such a classic combination of flavors, you can serve it with just about any of your favorite entree recipes.
