SALAD: Avocado, Cucumber & Tomato
Quick and simple cucumber and tomato salads are a staple in our house. When avocados are readily available, even more so. Every once in a while, there are loose "veggie" ends to tie up from the week's cooking, so we throw it all together into a satisfactory dinner salad. In this recipe, it's less about the specific quantities and more about striking a visual balance with a little of this, a little of that. You can do it! That said, the amounts provided below could be enough for two people. If dining solo, save any leftovers for a snack later. It will keep fine for a day.
