How to Make an AMAZING Cucumber Tomato Avocado Salad
STEP 1 Mix up the INCREDIBLE Sweet balsamic DRESSING!! Made with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, runny honey, Dijon mustard and dried Oregano. It makes 1/2 cup of dressing so there is plenty to go round.
STEP 2: Chop up your veggies. I like to make sure everything is a little smaller than bite size, so you can fit a little of everything in your mouth when you take a fork full.
SALAD INGREDIENTS
• Cucumber (the long variety with minimal seeds). If you need to use a cucumber with bigger seeds, then scrape out the seeds first)
• Cherry tomatoes
• RedOnion
• Red pepper – any color pepper will do, I just like to use the red one as I find it oh so slightly sweeter than the other colors.
• Avocado
STEP 3: Mix salad and HALF the dressing together. Keep the remaining dressing for those who want a little extra on serving.
