Avocado salad

Here’s a simple and delicious avocado salad recipe you can try. I’ll give a versatile version that works as a side dish or light meal:

---

Ingredients (for 2-3 servings):

• 2 ripe avocados, diced

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

• ½ cucumber, diced

• ¼ red onion, thinly sliced

• 1 small handful of fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped

• 1-2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tbsp lemon or lime juice

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Optional: feta cheese, corn, or toasted nuts for extra flavor

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.

2. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon/lime juice.

3. Gently toss to mix, taking care not to mash the avocado.

4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Sprinkle fresh herbs on top. Add optional extras if desired.

6. Serve immediately, or chill for 10–15 minutes for a refreshing cool salad.

💡 Tips:

• Use slightly firm avocados so they hold their shape.

• For extra zest, add a small pinch of chili flakes or a splash of balsamic vinegar.

• This salad pairs beautifully with grilled chicken or fish.

If you want, I can also give a creamy avocado salad version with yogurt dressing that’s super rich and flavorful. Do you want me to do that?
