This is health month for me and I am doing all healthy stuff, at least cooking and eating healthy! I did a smoothie and a breakfast recipe earlier so I’ll share a great salad recipe today.
Salads are great, aren’t they? They fill you up, low on calorie, you can have as much as you want! And hey, all salads are not boring. You can enjoy it as a side or a main. I sometimes like some good salad as munching snack in the evening.
Today we are making wonders with three very simple ingredients – Cucumber, Tomato and Avocado! It’s summers and these ingredients are perfect for the season! Crunchy Cucumber, Fresh Tomato and Buttery Avocado! Very easy and totally yum! Let’s get to know our Cucumber, Tomato & Avocado Salada little better!
HEALTH BENEFIT
Cucumber, however boring it may sound, is a giftIt keeps you hydratedand flushes out your toxins.
It almost doesn’t have any calories and provides loads of vitaminsand skin friendly minerals like magnesium, potassium.
Avocados on the other hand are a power house of dietary fiber, vitamin K, copper, folate, vitamin B6, potassium, vitamin E, and vitamin C
It also provides Alpha-linolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid) and oleic acid
Tomatoes, I can’t tell you how good they are specially for your skin!
Tomatoes, I can’t tell you how good they are specially for your skin!
We won’t use any mayo or fatty dressing for the salad!

This looks delicious! I do love salads; they can be so refreshing when the weather is hot in summer months. Sadly, in my 30s cucumbers wrecked havoc on my body with bad heartburn so I had to stop eating them 🙁 otherwise I would be making this recipe in a heartbeat
betty
Yeah perfect for summers
Ohh so sad… may be without the cucumber you can try!
Looks like a yummy salad! And so refreshing to look at!
Cheers!

This easy cucumber salad is fast and fresh with a bit of a kick. The avacodos adds the perfect twist!
Do try it and let me know
Your post is a godsend for me. I was hungry and was thinking about what to eat. My options were: Maggi, lays chips, and — I dare you not to laugh — a carrot. Now I know what to eat, thanks to you!
go ahead and enjoy!
super
add whatever you want – tofu, feta cheese
Yay! hope you enjoy it
LOL… the carrot is actually a better option than maggi and lays!! but yes the salad would be tasty and filling too!
This sounds absolutely yummy! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I love salads that are yum to eat apart from being healthy. Cucumber tomato and avocado combination sounds delicious, I will try this.
Never tried avocado, find it too mushy, though heard its quite beneficial . Would try this one , may be in this form its palatable.
An easy and healthy food recipe is always appreciated. This would be my next day snack, pakka thing.
Wow, the salad looks healthy, yummy and full on tummy .. Will try it for sure..
This salad is surely a good nutritional start for a meal, never tried avocado in salad, shall try it.
This is such a quick, colourful and power-packed salad. I liked the recipe but would add just a hint of honey or brown sugar to balance the vinegar and lime juice.
This salad is healthy as well as easy to prepare and have. My mom would love having this
