This month, I have decided to share a simple salad with you. I eat this salad almost every day for lunch. In fact, I could eat this salad for every meal if my appliances never worked again. It may be self-explanatory, but I will take the risk.
- 2 small-ish tomatoes, or one large one, chopped in small pieces
- ¼ of a red pepper, chopped into small pieces
- 1 scallion, chopped
- ½ an English cucumber or 2 small artesian cucumbers, chopped (peel the English one if using that type)
- ½ of a perfectly ripe avocado, in chunks
- ¼ cup pitted green olives, cut in half
- Drizzle of olive oil
- Salt to taste
Mix ingredients in a large bowl and be happy! This goes exceptionally well with an iced coffee or mocha.
Optional additions:
- Chopped feta
- Sliced boccicini
- Chopped fresh mint
