- 1 teaspoon lemon juice

- ¼ cup chopped red onion
- 4 ounces feta cheese crumbles
- ¼ cup fresh chopped parsley
Dressing Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Avocado: Drizzle lemon juice over the chopped avocado to prevent browning and set aside.
- Combine Vegetables and Cheese: In a large bowl, place the avocado, cherry tomatoes, yellow cherry tomatoes, peeled and chopped cucumbers, chopped red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
- Make Dressing: Whisk together the red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
- Dress Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl.
- Garnish and Toss: Top the salad with fresh chopped parsley and gently toss all ingredients together to combine evenly without mashing the avocado.
Notes
- Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. To keep the salad fresh, store the dressing separately and add it just before serving.
- Feel free to experiment with fresh herbs like basil, dill, or cilantro for varied flavors.
- For a meal variation, add sliced kalamata olives and grilled chicken to make it a Greek-inspired dish.
- Add corn kernels and black beans for a Mexican twist.
- Replace feta with small mozzarella balls, adding marinated artichoke hearts, diced salami, and white beans for an Italian flair.
