This is the best non-salad salad, and it’s perfect for summer! I say “non-salad” because there’s no lettuce. Seriously. None. But you can add lettuce if you want to, I’m not judging! 😉
This is the perfect salad for summer– refreshing, cold, and goes great with barbecue! Personally, I eat it all on it’s own, but I don’t turn down bbq, either. 😉
Ingredients (for either 1 personal salad, or 2 side salads):
1 Avocado
1 large or 2 medium tomatoes (but I’ve done a kick a$$ version of this with a handful of cherry tomatoes cut in halves!)
1/2 medium cucumber
Canola oil to taste (it has more Omega-3s than Olive Oil per serving!)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Optional: Pinch of freshly chopped Basil leaves. I do this when I’m feeling feisty. 🙂
Cut up avocado, tomatoes, and cucumber into bite-sized pieces. Place in bowl, drizzle with canola oil and salt/pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly. Careful, if you mix it too much, you’re going to have something that looks like baby barf. It’s the avocado. Be gentle! 😉
Enjoy!!!
What’s your workout today?! 🙂 How are you kicking off a healthy weekend?!
I started my morning by doing Megan‘s kickboxing class, and then moved to the pool, where I taught Aqua Aerobics and Toning. 🙂 It’s been fun subbing the aqua classes! (I will say, though, that I’m looking forward to not having the smell of chlorine in my nose all day.)
Wishing you a happy and healthy weekend!!! ❤
I think it definitely would be hard to make a better salad than this. It’s perfect for summer!
Thanks! Hope you enjoy it!
