Notes

Some tips for this recipe:
  • Choose ripe, juicy tomatoes, creamy avocado, and crisp cucumbers for the best flavor and texture in the salad.
  • Tear the basil leaves just before serving to release their aromatic oils and preserve their freshness.
  • Customize the salad by adding additional ingredients such as sliced red onion, olives, or roasted peppers for extra flavor and color.
  • Serve the salad as a side dish with grilled meats, seafood, or pasta, or enjoy it on its own as a light and refreshing appetizer.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days. The avocado may brown slightly over time, but the salad is still delicious.
