Instructions
Start by washing the Roma tomatoes, cucumber, and cilantro thoroughly. Slice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces, peel and dice the cucumber, and chop the onion finely.
Carefully cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado slightly, just enough to make it creamy but still chunky.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and cilantro with the mashed avocado.
Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the salad mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything together gently to combine.
Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or light meal!
Notes
This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
