This Cherry Tomato, Cucumber, and Green Bean Salad is a fresh and vibrant dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's a delightful mix of crunchy vegetables and creamy avocado, all brought together with a simple yet flavorful lemon and dill dressing.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the cherry tomatoes thoroughly under cold water and pat dry. Cut them in half and place them in a large salad bowl.
- Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it into thin rounds or half-moons. Add to the salad bowl.
- Trim the ends off the green beans, then blanch them. To do this, bring a pot of water to boil, add the green beans, and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Pat them dry and cut into 1-inch pieces before adding them to the salad bowl.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Dice the avocado into bite-sized pieces and add them to the salad bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and chopped dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the dressing over the vegetables in the salad bowl. Gently toss everything together until well coated with the dressing.
- Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and vibrant Cherry Tomato, Cucumber, and Green Bean Salad!
Tips:
- Blanch the green beans: Briefly boiling the green beans and then plunging them into ice water will help retain their bright color and crisp texture.
- Choose ripe avocados: Make sure your avocado is ripe for the best creamy texture. It should give slightly when squeezed gently.
- Adjust seasoning: Always taste your salad before serving and adjust the salt, pepper, and lemon juice to your liking.
This Cherry Tomato, Cucumber, and Green Bean Salad is a refreshing and nutritious addition to any meal. With its vibrant colors and delightful textures, it's sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Follow these simple tips to elevate your salad and enjoy a burst of fresh flavors in every bite.
