Israeli Cucumber and Tomato Salad

I found this recipe in the Food section of my newspaper.  I'm not sure why this is called Israeli salad - they probably told me in the article that the recipe came with, but I didn't read that.  What I do know is that I knew I had to try it the minute I read the recipe.  So many yummy flavors all in one salad!  So far I've made it twice.

Israeli Cucumber and Tomato Salad

Ingredients
  • 1 cucumber, cut into small dice
  • 4 to 5 Roma tomatoes, cut into small dice
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 T extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
  • Place cucumber, tomato, onion, cilantro and avocado in a medium bowl.  Add lemon juice, olive oil and salt & pepper to taste.  Toss gently to combine.
To prepare ahead: You can prepare the salad early in the day.  cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Of course, it's salad - so feel free to vary the ingredients to suit your taste - more cucumber, more tomato - more avocado

So yummy.
