Alina's Cucumber, Tomato and Avocado Salad

It's been a hot, dry summer, which is perfect for cucumbers. My parents have been sharing cucumbers from their garden, so I've been looking for creative ways to use them. I tweaked this simple recipe on Kalyn's Kitchen.

This salad is fresh and light, marrying juicy cucumbers with avocados and fresh-from-the-vine tomatoes. To me, it's the epitome of fresh summer cuisine.

Total time: 5 minutes. Makes 4-6 servings.

Ingredients:

6 medium fresh cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced
2 avocados, cubed
4 tomatoes, chopped
3 green onions, sliced at an angle
1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
1/4 cup of white wine vinegar
1/2 tsp of sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
A generous splash of lemon juice

Toss the avocado in the lemon juice. This is to help preserve its freshness and color.
Whisk the vinegar in a bowl with the salt, pepper and sugar.
Mix everything together. Toss until the entire salad is coated with the vinegar mix.
