Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, peel off the skin, and dice it into cubes. (We're guessing you already have your own clever tricks for this!)
Wash the tomatoes and cucumber, then cut them into small cubes or slices, depending on your preferred bite size.
Thoroughly wash and dry the lettuce leaves, then tear them by hand into pieces of your desired size. The more crunch, the better!
In a large bowl, combine the diced avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, and torn lettuce.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined (let all those flavors become best friends).
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine. Enjoy!
- To ensure your avocado is perfectly ripe, give it a gentle squeeze – it should yield slightly but not be mushy. A hard avocado isn't ready, and one that's too soft might be past its prime.
- For extra flavor and visual appeal (because we eat with our eyes first!), choose a mix of different lettuce varieties, like romaine or butter lettuce.
- If you're looking for a heartier meal, toss in a handful of toasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
- For a simple yet effective dressing, you can also use a combination of lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- This salad is best enjoyed immediately after preparing, to prevent the avocado from browning and the lettuce from wilting.
