I just love avocado. It can be used in so many different ways, but usually (like with all things in life) the simplest is the best. Use delicious summer vegetables and make this refreshing and healthy meal!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the recipe use both lime juice and apple cider vinegar?

I combine 2 tbsp lime juice and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar in the dressing. The lime juice prevents the avocado cubes from browning and adds bright citrus flavor, while the apple cider vinegar contributes a milder, slightly fruity acidity that rounds out the dressing. You can substitute lemon juice for lime if you prefer, but I keep the apple cider vinegar constant.

What does the cottage cheese add to this salad?

I serve a dollop of cottage cheese on top of the avocado, tomatoes, onion, garlic, and parsley to add a mild creamy texture and extra protein. Add more cottage cheese if you prefer a creamier, richer salad.
