Step 1

Prep all the vegetables. Slice 1 whole cucumber into thin rounds, then cut in half. Slice 2 cups of grape tomatoes in half. Scoop and chop 1 ripe avocado. Chop 1 cup red onion, and roughly chop ¼ cup of fresh basil.

Step 2

To make the salad dressing, add ¼ cup olive oil, 3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1 Tbsp honey, 1 minced garlic clove, ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp ground black pepper to a bowl or mason jar and seal with a lid. Mix it well by shaking or stirring.

Step 3

Add the sliced cucumber, 2 cups sliced grape tomatoes, 1 chopped ripe avocado, 1 cup chopped red onion and ¼ cup chopped fresh basil to a large salad bowl.

Step 4

Drizzle half of the dressing on top and gently toss everything together. Taste, then add more dressing if needed.
