Avocado Salad
It is summertime! I love making fresh salads this time of year to enjoy, especially as a side with BBQ. Lately, one of my favorites is this avocado salad. Think of it almost like a deconstructed guacamole but even better. The avocados offer a delicious creamy bite, while the red onions and cucumbers are crisp. The dressing is subtle but tangy and ties this all together. I am telling you, make this!
This avocado salad is perfect for taco night instead of traditional guacamole and as a side for your next gathering. It takes less than 20 minutes to put together too as most of it is prep work. You cannot go wrong! It’s fresh and vibrant while exploding with flavors. I actually made this the other day next to some vegetarian stuffed peppers for a full-on vegan meal! Be sure to give this a try and let me know what you think in the comments below!

Love how fresh this tastes, the cilantro just brings it all together.
Yes, one of my go-to salads!
I made a lot and I saved it (airtight container) overnight… it was even better the next day!
One of my absolute favorite salads to make. Delicious & filling! I make it so often, specially in the summer. Also, I’ve paired it with blackened salmon, shrimp, and chicken before and all the different combinations tasted great! Thank you for sharing the recipe!
