Healthy Recipes Salad Vegetable Salad Healthy Cucumber Salad Recipes Cucumber, Tomato & Avocado Salad 5.0 (2) 2 Reviews This vibrant cucumber, tomato and avocado salad is perfect for BBQs and backyard parties. The dressing is whisked together right in the salad bowl before you add the vegetables, so it's also incredibly easy to make. Choose a fairly firm avocado so it holds its shape in the salad.
