This is similar to a Persian salad. I added avocado to it. It adds a different taste that I love. I like to serve it in endive leaves.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Enjoy this Shiraxi salad as a simple summer salad or a fresh salsa. It's easy to put together and made with a handful of ingredients. The addition of onion and avocado to the chopped tomato and crisp cucumber gives this salad a salsa feel. Lightly dressed with lemon and olive oil, season the salad enough to soften the onions and keep the avocado green. We've used a dried seasoning blend and Herbs de Provence and both were delicious, but fresh herbs, like parsley, can easily be chopped and added.
