It’s really easy to make this avocado salad. It’s just a matter of chopping up your veggies and tossing them together in a bowl. Salads like this one and my Cucumber Salad with Greek Dressing are easy to whip up and don’t require any cooking, and come together in 15 minutes.

I also like to add canned or cooked chickpeas and mixed greens to this salad to make it more healthy and protein-rich. Check my favorite Chickpea Cucumber Salad from my blog.

Why You Will Love Avocado Cucumber Salad Recipe

  • Ready in 10 minutes.
  • Quick & easy to make
  • Refreshingly light & delicious
  • Perfect for summer potlucks, parties, and barbecues
  • vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and low-carb.

Ingredients for Avocado Salad Recipe

  • Avocado: Be sure to use a good quality ripe avocado but not a mushy or too firm texture for this recipe. I have used 1 Hass Avocado.
  • Cucumber: Choose cucumbers with low-seed or seedless variety. I like to use English cucumber for this recipe. Persian cucumbers work too.
  • Tomatoes: Grape or cherry tomatoes are my favorite, but diced regular, or Roma tomatoes also work well. They add sweetness and acidity to the dish.
  • Onion: red onion works best in salads, so that’s what I used. If you don't like it, feel free to substitute green onions instead.
  • Herbs: Fresh Cilantro is a must for this recipe. If you don't have cilantro feel free to use dill leaves, parsley, or basil instead.
  • Extra-Virgin Olive oil: a good quality extra virgin olive oil is a must as it brings out flavors.
  • Lime juice: Be sure to use fresh lime/lemon juice if you can, which has the best flavor and adds a bit of tang.
  • Seasoning: salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

How to Serve Avocado Cucumber Salad

This simple salad makes a great side dish and pairs with any main dish. Few suggested pairings are

  • Alongside Soups
  • Burgers
  • Pasta
  • Proteins like grilled Paneer tikka, Tofu
  • Roasted Potatoes
  • Rice and Black beans

Make Ahead and Storage

  • Make-Ahead: You can prep the veggies (except for avocado), herbs, and dressing a day before serving. When you’re ready to serve, cut the avocado and toss the veggies, herbs, and dressing together.
  • Storage: This avocado salad is best enjoyed when served fresh. Leftover salad will keep in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours when stored in an airtight container. After that, avocados will be quite brown.

Tips for the best Avocado Salad

  • Use firm, ripe avocados:  Choose good quality ripe avocados but not mushy, otherwise, they will get squishy in the salad.
  • Cut veggies into the same size: Cutting into the same sizes improves the visual appeal of the salad and also ensures that all the flavors make it into each forkful.
  • Prepare with fresh ingredients: Choose fresh ingredients like veggies, herbs, and lime juice for the best flavor.
  • Be gentle while tossing the salad: Toss the salad gently with a spoon so that you don't mash the avocados.

Popular Substitutions & Additions

  • Add other vegetables: Try adding other vegetables of your choice, like bell peppers, sweet corn, carrots, olives, green onions or radishes.
  • Cheese:  Add some crumbed or cubed feta cheese just before serving for a Mediterranean touch. You may also add baby mozzarella.
  • Substitute other fresh herbs: If you are not a fan of cilantro, then try other fresh herbs like dill leaves, parsley, basil, or mint.
  • Greens: Try adding some greens like romaine lettuce, baby spinach, kale, or arugula.
  • Protein: Add ½ of canned or cooked chickpeas for extra protein.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will the salad last in the refrigerator?

Avocado turns brown faster due to oxidization, hence it is recommended to serve this salad fresh. However, you can prep all the veggies, except the avocado, and store them in the refrigerator. Before serving, cut the avocado and toss everything well.

How to keep an Avocado from turning brown?

Avocados will oxidize and turn brown when exposed to air. To prevent cut avocados from turning brown, add acids like lemon juice, lime juice, or any kind of vinegar over them.

Can you use a different type of acid?

Yes, you can substitute lime/lemon juice with white wine vinegar or red wine vinegar instead.

What other veggies can I add to this avocado salad?

Sweet Corn, bell peppers, carrots, and green onions would all be great additions.
