  • 1 avocado, sliced

  • 1 small cucumber, sliced

  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  5. Serve: Enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • For a heartier meal, you can add grilled chicken or boiled eggs.

  • If you prefer a lighter dressing, replace balsamic vinegar with lemon juice.

  • The salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for up to 1 day if needed.
