Avocado Salad is the salad to make when you want something easy, healthy and delicious. Only 7 simple ingredients are required to make this tasty avocado salad.
"If a woman drowns her salad in mayonnaise and says she is doing clean eating, she does nothing but deceives herself." James 1: 24, Clean Eating Bible.
Avocado, the Superfood
- It fights cancer.
- It contains heart-healthy fats.
- It aids digestion.
- It regulates blood sugar levels.
- It is anti-inflammatory.
- It does much more!
Another noteworthy thing is that avocado is a fruit and not a vegetable. A salad like this takes a fruit that already tastes great and makes it exceptional.
This salad is crunchy with freshness from the tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers and creamy from the texture of the avocados. It is the perfect balance of crunchy and creamy.
It can be eaten on it's own, together with whole wheat bread for breakfast or lunch or as a side dish to other meals.

How to Make Avocado Salad
1. Peel cucumber and chop into 1-inch pieces. (If using English cucumber, do not peel it because its skin is thinner). Place the chopped cucumber in a large bowl.

3. Dice onion and add to the bowl.
4. Cut each avocado into 4 slices. Peel each slice and cut into 1-inch pieces. Add chopped avocado to the bowl.

Here are some commonly asked questions about this recipe and my answers to them:
What can I use in place of olive oil? Substitutes for olive oil are coconut oil, peanut oil, corn oil, avocado oil or vegetable oil.
What if I don't like cucumber? If you do not like cucumber, feel free to omit it then reduce the oil, salt and pepper by half.

Hi Lady P.
Lmao @ "James 1: 24 Clean Eating Bible." You are so right, the choice of salad dressing could make or mar the "cleanliness" os any salad.
I love avocados, the taste and texture is so yummy. This salad looks easy to make and is bursting at the seams with nutritional goodness.
Thank you for sharing your recipe!

Oh Precious. Thanks for sharing and reminding me how to make my salads fun. I totally forgot I could use Avocado. I hardly use any dressing, I just feel it packs a lot of calories. This is a sure way to add yum to the crunch. XO http://www.bubusboulevard.com

I love you for hardly using dressing. Salad dressings often come with a multitude of sin.

Absolutely love me some avocado salad. Very simple yummy recipe. Totally not a fan of Olive oil. Never liked the flavor. My go to dressing is mostly Macadamia nuts blended with some lemon and tangerine/orange juice. The creaminess takes care of my mayo cravings

Hey what do you mean by salad dressing come with a multitude of sin
