Tomato, Cucumber, and Feta Salad with Avocado Green Goddess Vinaigrette
This three-ingredient salad of tomatoes, cucumbers, and feta is gloriously topped with an herbaceous and smooth avocado vinaigrette. The simplicity of the salad is key, as it is best in the summer months to showcase fresh garden sun-ripened tomatoes, cucumbers, and herbs. You'll want to make a large batch of the avocado vinaigrette and have it in your refrigerator to dip and spread on just about anything! It's that good!
