preview for This Avocado Tomato Salad Is Even Better Than Guac

Don’t confuse this colorful salad with guac—there’s way more depth of flavor and variety of texture, which makes it one of my favorite summer sides of all time. But the real beauty of this salad? You’re totally welcome to still eat it with tortilla chips. (Just know it tastes amazing without ’em.) Plus, since this avocado salad is simple and straightforward, it basically goes with everything. Serve it along with some baked salmon, grilled chicken, or keep it all veg with a portobello burger!

Swap out the veggies:
If you have extra veggies in the fridge that need to be used, you can totally switch up this salad and use what you’ve got. Replace the cucumber with some sautéed zucchini or add in some chopped grilled asparagus. Replace the jalapeño with bell peppers for a milder, sweeter crunch or give it more of a Mediterranean vibe with oregano instead of cumin and some feta!

Storage & make ahead:
Avocados love to go brown on us quickly, so this dish is best when served straight away. The lemon will help prolong the browning, but only for so long. Any leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Just know that even if your avo goes brown, it’s just a little oxidation from exposure to air, and it is still totally safe to eat despite its appearance!

If you really need to get a head start, you can toss everything together except for the avocado and store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Just add the avocado right before you’re ready to serve.
