Ingredients
  

  • 0.5 cup (85 g / 3 oz) grape tomatoes, halved
  • 4 small Persian cucumbers / 140g (4.9 oz), finely chopped
  • 1 medium avocado / 150g (5.3 oz), pitted, peeled, and finely chopped
  • 0.25 cup (38 g / 1.34 oz) crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) vinaigrette salad dressing
  • 0.1 tsp (0.5 g / 0.02 oz) Pink Himalayan salt
  • 0.1 tsp (0.2 g / 0.01 oz) freshly ground black pepper
  • for the Best Salad
  • Use ripe but firm avocados that yield slightly to pressure. This helps them hold their shape instead of turning to mush when tossed.
  • Opt for Persian cucumbers. Their thin skin and minimal seeds provide the best crunch and prevent a soggy salad.
  • Buy feta in a block stored in brine and crumble it yourself. It's creamier and has a much fresher, saltier flavor than pre-crumbled versions.
  • Dress the salad immediately before serving. The salt in the dressing will draw out moisture, so waiting ensures maximum crunch.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Prepare the vegetables: Halve the grape tomatoes, and finely chop the cucumbers and avocado.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, and avocado.
  4. Top with crumbled feta cheese.
  5. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad.
  6. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Gently toss everything together until well-coated, being careful not to mash the avocado.
  8. Divide between two plates and serve immediately for the best texture.
