Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup cucumbers, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, roughly chopped

Dressing Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fresh Ingredients: Wash and chop cucumbers, halve cherry tomatoes, thinly slice red onion, and roughly chop fresh parsley. Dice the avocado carefully last to avoid browning.
  2. Combine the Salad Base: In a large bowl, gently mix cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, Kalamata olives, parsley, and avocado to blend their colors and textures evenly without mashing the avocado.
  3. Add the Feta Cheese: Crumble the feta cheese over the top of the salad and gently fold it in to distribute the tangy bites throughout the mixture.
  4. Dress the Salad: Whisk together fresh lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the dressing. Pour it over the salad and toss lightly to coat all ingredients evenly.
  5. Serve Fresh: Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor, enjoying the contrast of creamy avocado, crisp vegetables, and salty feta.

Notes

  • Choose ripe avocados that are soft but not mushy for ideal creamy texture.
  • Chop ingredients uniformly to ensure consistent bites and even flavor distribution.
  • Toss gently to keep the avocado intact and maintain the salad’s texture.
  • Dress the salad just before serving to prevent sogginess and keep freshness.
  • Use fresh lemon juice instead of bottled for brighter dressing flavor.
