How to make Herbed Avocado Cu،ber Salad
1. Place all of the salad ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Mix gently using a s، or hands. Enjoy immediately.
Tips for the best Herbed Avocado Cu،ber Salad
- Cut the veggies into medium pieces. Don’t cut cu،bers into very thin slices, so they keep a nice shape. Similarly, don’t make avocado pieces too thin, so they don’t break as you mix the salad.
- Toss gently. Make sure to get full coverage on the vegetables with the dressing and ،es, by mixing carefully.
- Serve immediately. The vegetables will release water as they sit, so serve this salad soon after making it.
- Use good oil. Extra ، olive oil is best for this recipe. If you don’t like this oil, the next best kind is avocado oil.
- Use ripe avocados. Just not too soft. Ripe avocados will add a nice creamy texture.
Recipe variations & subs،utions
- Use different herbs. Herbs make this salad very refre،ng and tasty. You can add some cilantro, fresh basil, or fresh scallion for additional flavor and texture.
- Lime juice can be subs،uted with lemon juice.
- Add garlic. Enjoy fresh garlic? Add some minced garlic to this salad. But if you c،ose to do so, I suggest you mix it well with olive oil, and then pour it over the salad and mix well to ensure even distribution.
- Add sesame seeds. This salad pairs really well with toasted sesame seeds. Just sprinkle some right before serving.
- Add tomatoes. Add a pop of color by adding some cherry tomatoes.
- To ،l or not to ،l the cu،ber? The c،ice is yours!
- Add heat. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a teas، of Sriracha.
How to store
Store this easy salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. The vegetables will leak moisture as they sit and soften, so eat as soon as possible.
Serving suggestions
- Proteins. Serve this salad alongside Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast, Salmon in Creamy Sauce, Ahi Tuna Steak, or Chicken Rice C،erole.
