Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, from 1 lemon (or sub red wine vinegar)
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1 to 2 ripe but firm avocados, diced
- 3 to 4 persian cucumbers, halved lengthwise and sliced
- 2 pints cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ medium red onion, thinly sliced
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 to 6 ounces feta cheese, cut into small cubes
- ¼ cup fresh chopped mix of parsley and/or basil
- 3 cups arugula, optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl add the olive oil, lemon juice (or vinegar), and garlic. Whisk with a fork until well combined.
- Add in the avocados, cucumber, tomatoes and onion, then season with salt and pepper. Gently stir to combine so that the dressing coats the vegetables. Before serving, add feta cheese and herbs on top, then barely toss together. Serve over arugula or over cold pasta (such as orzo) and with some grilled chicken or over a chicken cutlet!
Notes
To make dairy-free: omit the feta, or use your favorite crumbled dairy-free cheese. You may then want to taste the salad and add a pinch of extra salt.
