Tomato Cucumber Avocado Salad Ingredients

Tomatoes. You want to use ripe, juicy tomatoes for this salad. Therefore it’s best to make this salad during summer when tomatoes are in season, are sweet and actually taste like something – not just water with tomato flavor. However, if it’s not summer and you want to make this salad anyway, I won’t judge (I do it as well): a cup of cherry tomatoes will do very well here.

Cucumbers. Choose thinner, firmer, crunchier cucumbers. Those are the best for any dish using cucumbers. It really makes a difference!

Avocado. We need a ripe avocado for this salad. If you don’t have a ripe one, here’s how to ripen an avocado a little faster.

Olives. Add your favorite types of olives to this salad – green, Kalamata, or even black olives. You can have them pitted and chopped, or whole with the pits in. Here I used Kalamata olives with the pits in, although I did remove some pits and chopped some of the olives, so it’s a mix.

Feta Cheese. The addition of feta cheese will make this cucumber tomato salad creamier and more satisfying. Make sure to look at the ingredients – you don’t want too many ingredients in there. Some

Scallions. Because they’re in season right now. If you want you can also use 1/2 red onion instead.

Optional: jalapeño pepper (or other pepper – spicy or not).
