March 28, 2017 By Kaitlin McGinn 5 Comments

Fresh Avocado Tomato Salad with crisp cucumber and a garbanzo bean boost! Only 7 ingredients and easy assembly. (Vegan, gluten-free, oil-free)

This simple 7-ingredient salad is pure summertime goodness! Creamy avocado, sweet tomatoes, and crunchy cucumber join forces for a quick and easy dish full of super fresh flavors.

Salads are pretty forgiving, so don’t feel like to have to follow the recipe exactly. Toss in some extra tomatoes, beans, herbs, sweet corn, or whatever sounds good.

I simply use lime juice as a “dressing” but it’d be great with lemon juice or white wine vinegar as well. It’s great for picnics, gatherings, or summer snacks. Hope you enjoy as much as we do!

Ingredients

US Customary – Metric
  • 2 avocados (not too soft)
  • 8 oz. grape tomatoes (or 3 romas, etc.)
  • 1 small cucumber
  • 1 cup garbanzo beans (cooked)
  • 1/3 cup red onion, finely diced

Instructions

  • Dice cucumber, halve/quarter tomatoes, and finely dice red onion.
  • Roughly chop cilantro, stems removed.
  • Rinse and drain garbanzo beans.
  • Peel avocados and remove pits. Dice into medium chunks.
  • Place all ingredients in a bowl. Add lime juice and salt. Lightly toss.
  • I like to let it sit for about 15-20 minutes so the flavors blend a bit before eating. You can also cover and refrigerate until ready to eat! (Best served the same day otherwise the avocados get a little creamy/mushy. We usually finish within 1-2 days.)

Notes

This recipe works best with avocados that aren’t overly ripe so they don’t get too mushy.
If you’re not a fan of raw onion, omit or substitute with milder green onions.
Cater the amount of lime juice to your liking. Or swap out the lime juice for lemon juice, white wine vinegar, etc.
