🥑 Ingredients

Everything about this avocado salad recipe is terrific. With the incredible flavors of the tomatoes and avocados, you end up with a refreshing, light, and tasty meal.

Roma Tomatoes: Roma tomatoes are your best option. A lot of other varieties do not hold up well with the other ingredients, and the salad will end up soggy. Roma tomatoes hold their shape very well without adding too much liquid.

Ripe Avocados: Using ripe avocados will give you that cool, refreshing, and creamy texture that makes this dish so incredible.

Corn: I prefer to use white corn kernels when I’m making this avocado tomato salad. It has a fun and yummy flavor that I think you’re going to enjoy.

🍽️ Instructions

With just four steps, you can practically make this salad in your sleep. Okay, maybe it’s not quite that easy, but it’s pretty close. 😉

Step One: Begin by chopping the tomatoes, avocados, and cucumber into large-sized pieces. Add them to a large bowl.

Step Two: Cut the corn off of the cob and add it to the bowl. Mix in the sliced red onion and chopped parsley too.

Step Three: In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper using a whisk. Once combined, drizzle over the salad.

Step Four: Combine the salad and dressing gently, so you don’t crush the avocados. Serve and enjoy!

🥘 Meal Prep

Chop up the Roma tomatoes, cucumber, onions, and parsley and store them in the fridge for 1-2 days in advance. Then, when it comes time to make the salad, they are ready to go. It’s best to store them all separately until you are making the salad.

📌 Expert Tips

Just a note – this is a creamy salad. As you stir everything together, the avocados create a lovely creamy texture. But, if you’re not gentle when mixing, it can quickly go from perfectly creamy to “uh-oh I accidentally disintegrated the avocados almost entirely.” Not saying that happened to me or anything! So, go easy when stirring so the avocados still mostly keep their shape – use a folding motion to keep the right consistency.
Don’t skip the lemon juice, or the avocados will turn brown quickly. Plus, it enhances the flavors.

🥄 Recipe FAQ

Can I swap out the tomatoes?

Yes, you can easily swap the variety of tomatoes. I like Roma tomatoes because they are so strong and hold up well to being mixed in the salad. You could also use cherry, grape, or any other variety you like. Cherry and grape tomatoes would work great here as well.

What goes will this salad?

Literally, almost everything goes well with this salad. Serve up a big, fat, juicy steak, make some salmon, or eat it as a light lunch. There aren’t any wrong answers here.

What kind of nutrients are in this salad?

Oh my goodness, you hit the motherload when it comes to nutrients! This salad is filled with folate, riboflavin, vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, and SO MUCH MORE! Eat it up because it’s so good for you.
