Notes

  • Use ripe but slightly firm avocados so they hold their shape when tossed.
  • Vine-ripened, cherry, or grape tomatoes all work well.
  • English or Persian cucumbers are great options and don't need to be peeled.
  • You can substitute fresh lime juice for lemon juice.
  • Honey can be replaced with agave or omitted if you prefer a less sweet dressing.
  • Toss the salad gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
  • For the best texture, add the avocado and dressing just before serving.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
