This recipe has been my favorite to make all summer long. When I say favorite I mean that I make it at least once a week! The great part about this recipe is how simple and easy it is to make! Whether your hosting a party and need a side dish or just want something healthy to eat during the week this recipe is great one to have on hand.
What you will need:
1 English Cucumber
Cherry Tomatoes (or something similar)
Avocado
Red Wine Vinegar
Olive Oil
Parsley (Fresh is best but use what you have on hand)
Salt & Pepper
To start peel your cucumber and then cut your cucumber, tomato and avocado into bit size pieces. I typically try to cut everything in varying sizes as it is more pleasing to the eye to have variety.( If your making this for yourself don't worry about it!)
Put it all in a bowl and add about 1/4 a cup red wine vinegar and 1/4 a cup of olive oil. This amount will change based on how much you are making and also your taste. If you really like the tang of red wine vinegar add more of it and less of the olive oil! That is what is great about this recipe there is no real formula just do what suits your taste.
Add a pinch of Salt, Pepper and Parsley. Mix it all together and stick it in the fridge.
You will want to chill your cucumber salad for at least an hour before serving, this will give the flavors time to soak in and develop.
There are several variations on this recipe all over the web, a lot of them call for red onions and I imagine that would be scrumptious as well. Like I said this recipe is extremely easy to make and is a light and refreshing side dish. I hope you enjoy!
