Tomato, Cucumber, Avocado Salad

Our friend Dave Kiss was back in town from Ohio to do the Milford Bike race with Nick.  The night before the race, I made this delicious salad for us.  They even helped chop the vegetables!

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cups of chopped tomatoes – I used cherry tomatoes
1 cucumber – peeled and seeded then diced
1 avocado – diced
4 oz feta cheese – cubed
2 tbs minced red onion
1 handful parsley – minced – about 2 tbs
2 tbs olive oil
1 tbs red wine vinegar
8 twists of black pepper from a pepper mill

DIRECTIONS

• Chop tomatoes into a medium dice. If using cherry tomatoes, cut in half. Add to a bowl.

• Peel and seed one cucumber and dice. Add to bowl.

• Remove pit, dice avocado and using a spoon scoop out the avocado from the peel. Add to bowl.

• Cube feta and add to bowl.

• Add minced red onion and minced parsley to bowl.

• Whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar and black pepper – pour over salad.

• Toss gently so the feta and avocado don’t break up. Serve immediately.

• If refrigerating – keep the avocado aside and add before serving.
