Description
A vibrant and healthy Mediterranean Avocado Salad featuring creamy avocados, sweet cherry tomatoes, crunchy cucumber, and tangy feta cheese, all drizzled with olive oil and lemon juice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients in a large mixing bowl, bringing together the diced avocados, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, crumbled feta cheese, and finely chopped red onion.
- Drizzle the mixture with olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice, ensuring you coat all ingredients evenly for balanced flavor.
- Season generously with salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste.
- Gently toss everything together, being careful not to mash the avocado. You want it to hold its shape for that delightful creaminess.
- If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
- Serve immediately for the best experience, or chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Notes
Make-ahead: Prepare everything except the avocado and combine just before serving to maintain freshness. You can add black olives or chickpeas for extra flavor.
