  • 1/2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/2 tsp pink sea salt

  3. Give salad a good toss making sure all ingredients are well combined together. Serve salad immediately and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

    1. Add avocado when serving if making ahead- So that avocado doesn't brown
    2. Add dressing when serving too- Add lime juice, oil, salt and pepper when you are ready to serve if you are making this salad ahead. This will prevent cucumbers and tomatoes from losing their crispiness and getting soggy.
    3. Substitute for parsley- You can use fresh cilantro.
    4. Add onions for extra crunchiness- If you like onions, add red onion or Pickled Red Onions are a great in this salad too.
