  • - Hey everyone, it's Natasha of natashaskitchen.com.

  • You'll notice today I'm in a new space,

  • read more about that in the description below.

  • We're gonna get right into this.

  • Today I'm putting together my very favorite ingredients

  • to make an absolutely delicious salad.

  • It's definitely a reader favorite.

  • Make this salad once and you'll make it again and again.

  • We start out by chopping a pound of fresh roma tomatoes.

  • This salad is really good with store-bought ingredients

  • but just wait until you try homegrown tomatoes, yum.

  • If your cucumber twirling ends better than mine,

  • let me know, mine may have ended up on the floor.

  • You're gonna slice up one whole English cucumber.

  • The red onion just gives this salad

  • an amazing pop of color and flavor, don't skip it.

  • Because we love avocado,

  • we make sure there's plenty of it in here.

  • Check out this easy method

  • of pitting and slicing an avocado.

  • (upbeat music)

  • And in it goes, like I said, lots of avocado.

  • Adding fresh cilantro just makes this salad come alive.

  • And if you're not too keen on cilantro,

  • you can use dill and we'll still be friends.

  • Now the dressing for this salad is super easy.

  • A generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil,

  • about two tablespoons of fresh lemon juice,

  • which really keeps the avocado from browning.

  • And we finish it off with a little bit of black pepper

  • and a teaspoon of salt.

  • Just toss everything to combine

  • and that's really all there is to it.

  • Here's where things get exciting, the taste test.

  • I like to make sure I get a little bit of everything

  • in each bite.

  • Here we go.

  • (moans loudly)

  • If I had one word to describe this,

  • it would be fresh.

  • This salad is delicious.

  • I love how the avocado makes it a little bit creamy,

  • and then the other crisp veggies, mm mm mm.

  • Little bit of freshness for summer for you guys.

  • If you enjoyed this recipe,

  • give me a thumbs up below.

  • Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel,

  • and thanks for watching.

  • (happy upbeat music)
