- Hey everyone, it's Natasha of natashaskitchen.com.
You'll notice today I'm in a new space,
read more about that in the description below.
We're gonna get right into this.
Today I'm putting together my very favorite ingredients
to make an absolutely delicious salad.
It's definitely a reader favorite.
Make this salad once and you'll make it again and again.
We start out by chopping a pound of fresh roma tomatoes.
This salad is really good with store-bought ingredients
but just wait until you try homegrown tomatoes, yum.
If your cucumber twirling ends better than mine,
let me know, mine may have ended up on the floor.
You're gonna slice up one whole English cucumber.
The red onion just gives this salad
an amazing pop of color and flavor, don't skip it.
Because we love avocado,
we make sure there's plenty of it in here.

of pitting and slicing an avocado.

And in it goes, like I said, lots of avocado.
Adding fresh cilantro just makes this salad come alive.
And if you're not too keen on cilantro,
you can use dill and we'll still be friends.
Now the dressing for this salad is super easy.
A generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil,
about two tablespoons of fresh lemon juice,
which really keeps the avocado from browning.
And we finish it off with a little bit of black pepper
and a teaspoon of salt.
Just toss everything to combine
and that's really all there is to it.
Here's where things get exciting, the taste test.
I like to make sure I get a little bit of everything
in each bite.
Here we go.
(moans loudly)
If I had one word to describe this,
it would be fresh.
This salad is delicious.
I love how the avocado makes it a little bit creamy,
and then the other crisp veggies, mm mm mm.
Little bit of freshness for summer for you guys.
