A nutritious and delicious salad that takes no time to make.

Ingredients

  • 2 cucumbers Persian, or part of an English cucumber (organic)
  • 2 tomatoes (sliced, just under-ripe is best for salads)
  • 2 medium avocados (ripe, peeled and sliced)
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (or more)
  • tsp Kosher salt (or sea salt, to taste)
  • 1 tsp red wine vinegar (good quality, at least 6% acidity)

Instructions

  • Place the sliced cucumbers, tomatoes and avocados in a bowl, then drizzle on the olive oil.
  • Next, sprinkle with some Kosher or sea salt. You can always add more later if needed.
  • If you are going to omit anything in this salad, skip the vinegar, but do NOT omit the salt, this is what gives it flavor.
  • Now add a little vinegar to taste, if desired. You could substitute lemon juice if preferred.

Notes

  • Measurements are not critical in this recipe. Adjust to your own liking.
