Ingredients
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your fresh vegetables by thoroughly washing the tomatoes, cucumber, and onion under cool running water.
- Peel the onion and slice it very thinly using a sharp knife, creating delicate, translucent rings that will add a sharp flavor to the salad.
- Dice the tomatoes into uniform, bite-sized cubes approximately 1/2 inch in size to ensure even distribution and texture.
- Cut the cucumber into thin, elegant slices, maintaining a consistent thickness for visual appeal and balanced flavor.
- Carefully slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and dice the flesh into similar-sized cubes as the tomatoes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and red wine vinegar to create a simple vinaigrette, seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- In a large salad bowl, gently combine the sliced onions, diced tomatoes, cucumber slices, and avocado cubes.
- Drizzle the prepared vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss delicately to coat all ingredients evenly without breaking the avocado pieces.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve immediately at room temperature to enjoy the fresh, crisp flavors of the salad.
Tips
- Choose the freshest ingredients possible - the quality of your vegetables will make or break this simple salad.
- When slicing onions, soak them in cold water for a few minutes to reduce their sharp bite if you find raw onions too intense.
- For the most attractive presentation, cut your vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure an even distribution of flavors and textures.
- Use ripe but firm avocados to prevent them from turning mushy when mixing the salad.
- Prepare the vinaigrette separately and add it just before serving to keep the vegetables crisp and prevent wilting.
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding fresh herbs like chopped parsley or chives.
- Serve immediately after preparing to enjoy the salad at its freshest and most vibrant.
