Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 1 cup Red Cherry Tomatoes Sweet and juicy; substitute with grape tomatoes for a similar burst of flavor.
  • 1 cup Yellow Cherry Tomatoes Adds a pop of color and sweetness; use more red tomatoes if needed.
  • 2 Avocados Creamy texture and healthy fats; make sure they’re ripe.
  • 1 large Cucumber Provides a refreshing crunch; Persian or English cucumbers work beautifully.
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion Adds a tangy bite; swap for green onions if you prefer a milder taste.

For the Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Brightens and elevates flavors; lime juice makes a zesty alternative.
