TOMATO, ZUCCHINI AND AVOCADO SALAD
Whenever you make a dish with uncooked zucchini, be sure to slice or dice it finely, so that the zucchini can absorb the dressing or seasonings. I like to eat this salsa salad with rice.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and have no blemishes. Avoid tomatoes that are green or have bruises.
- Use fresh, crisp cucumbers: English or Persian cucumbers are best for this salad, as they have a mild flavor and thin skin. Avoid cucumbers that are yellow or have a thick, waxy skin.
- Use ripe avocados: Avocados should be firm but slightly yielding to the touch. Avoid avocados that are too hard or too soft.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like basil, cilantro, and mint add a lot of flavor to this salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The avocado will start to brown if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
This tomato, cucumber, and avocado salad with lemon vinaigrette is a refreshing and flavorful side dish or light lunch. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and delicious flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
