Tomato Salad with Cucumbers, Avocado, and Cilantro

This perfect Tomato Salad with Cucumbers, Avocado, and Cilantro is one of my favorite ways to enjoy tomatoes when they’re garden fresh in the summer months! This is a salad combination I came up with years ago when I had lots of fresh, ripe tomatoes in the garden, and when a neighbor stopped by I shared the salad with her and we both devoured it. I’ve been making the salad ever since, and when I made it recently I decided I had to take some new photos!

If you’re lucky enough to have fresh garden tomatoes and cucumbers, this salad is a perfect way to use them when they’re abundant! But even now that I have to buy tomatoes at the Farmers Market or at the store, this is still an amazing summer salad I make every year.
