FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I don’t like cilantro; can I use something else?
Sure, fresh dill is a great substitute. If you go this route, I suggest using lemon juice in place of lime to compliment the flavor; parsley is another tasty alternative to freshen up our cucumber avocado and tomato salad.
Can I make the salad ahead of time?
Sure, make it the day before, but I suggest leaving the avocado out of it. When you’re ready to serve, cut your avocado and fold the pieces into the rest of your salad.

The addition of olive oil and lime gave it a delicious zing that took it to the next level. I loved having it as a light meal, but it would also make a fantastic side dish for any gathering.
