Ingredients (2–3 servings)

• 2 cups Roma tomatoes, cut into large chunks (about 3–4 tomatoes)
• 1 large English cucumber (or 2 small regular cucumbers), sliced into half-moons
• ¼–½ medium onion, cut into chunky pieces
• 1 small bunch fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
• 2 ripe avocados, sliced (firm but ready to eat)
• Salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 3–5 tablespoons zesty Italian dressing (adjust to taste)

Optional additions:

• Croutons for crunch
• Toasted bread for serving

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and onion. Add the chopped cilantro if you’re using it. Toss everything gently to mix the base of your salad.

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit carefully, and slice them into thick pieces. Peel off the skin and set the slices aside.

Season the vegetable mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle in the Italian dressing and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.

Add the avocado slices last, folding them in very gently to avoid mashing them. Mix just enough to distribute them throughout the salad while keeping their shape.

Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or chill briefly if you prefer it cold.

Notes or Tips

• Choose avocados that are slightly firm to keep them from getting mushy when mixed.
• Adding the avocado last helps maintain its texture and appearance.
• If you prefer a milder flavor, use regular Italian dressing instead of zesty.
• This salad pairs beautifully with grilled meats, but it’s also great on its own with toasted bread.
• For extra crunch, sprinkle croutons on top just before serving.
