Tomato Cucumber Salad with Avocado

August 18, 2018 by Rachel Leave a Comment

There are very few things I love more than a nice, fresh salad. I find that I will happily fill up on fresh produce over something sweet if it is on hand and doing that is so helpful to control sugar cravings. This Tomato Cucumber Salad with Avocado always hits the spot.

This tomato cucumber salad is a twist on a classic. The addition of avocado really takes it to another level. I love avocado so I add it to anything I can and it is absolutely amazing in this.

Avocado makes this filling enough that it works for a light lunch. Make it ahead of time and you’ll have something ready to grab when you are short on time. The high vinegar content keeps the avocados from going brown for a day or two so it will keep just fine for a lunch.

I have a horrible sweet tooth, so cutting sugar out of my diet is a struggle. Spicy food makes me crave sugary deserts but foods that are acidic, like this one with its vinegar base, really do a fabulous job at knocking out sugar cravings for me.

I have no idea why, but it works and this is a fresh and healthy snack/meal/side dish so it works for me.

This salad is so quick to throw together and it’s always a favorite.

Slice your cucumber then quarter the slices. I leave the skin on, but you could peel your cucumber if you’d prefer.

Slice your grape tomatoes in half.

Half your avocado, remove the pit, and peel off the avocado skin. With the flat side down, slice the avocado into cubes.

Slice the onion in thin slices and separate the pieces.

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, and salt and pepper.

Gently toss the cucumber, tomatoes, onion slices, and avocado with the dressing.

You can serve this right away or let it sit in the fridge for a few hours so the flavors can come together.

Hi! I’m Rachel

Hi! I'm Rachel. I'm a mom of 6 who is working to cut the sugar out of my family's diet. After having twins a few years ago I have struggled to lose the baby weight. It turns out I had become insulin resistant. My path to weight loss started with cutting out all the sugar in my diet . . . and it was challenging. I found out that I don't just enjoy sugar, I'm addicted to it. Finding sugar-free recipes and tricks for dealing with sugar cravings has been so hard but I felt an immediate improvement in the way I felt and I lost 8 pounds within the first 2 weeks of going sugar-free.
