TOMATO, CUCUMBER, AVOCADO SALAD

Too hot to cook?  This recipe is a simple summer salad – a tomato, cucumber, avocado salad. This is a quick and easy salad to put together that uses just a couple of summer ingredients. Juicy cherry tomatoes, cool, crunchy cucumber and creamy avocado.  I’ve added some salty feta, red onion and a little minced parsley as well.  Toss with a simple red wine vinaigrette and the salad is ready in under 15 minutes.
  • 1½ cups of chopped tomatoes - I used cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cucumber - peeled and seeded then diced
  • 1 avocado - diced
  • 4 oz feta cheese - cubed
  • 2 tbs minced red onion
  • 1 handful parsley - minced - about 2 tbs
  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • 1 tbs red wine vinegar
  • 8 twists of black pepper from a pepper mill
