How To Make avocado-tomato & cucumber salad

  • 1
    Assemble the salad in your salad bowl,toss everything together except the dressing. We want to do that just before serving,the salad looks and tastes fresher that way.

    For the dressing: Place a stainless steel bowl and wire whisk in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to mixing,this helps in emulsifying the dressing. Add the lime juice and zest,spices. Then slowly drizzle in the olive oil while vigorously whisking the dressing.
