Tomato, Zucchini and Avocado Salad image

Whenever you make a dish with uncooked zucchini, be sure to slice or dice it finely, so that the zucchini can absorb the dressing or seasonings. I like to eat this salsa salad with rice.

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 medium zucchini
Salt to taste
5 medium tomatoes, finely chopped
1 or 2 jalapeƱo or serrano peppers, seeded if desired and finely chopped
1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, to taste

3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Boston lettuce or romaine lettuce leaves for serving

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the zucchini with salt, and drain in a colander for 15 minutes. Rinse if the zucchini tastes very salty, and drain on paper towels.
  • Combine the tomatoes, chiles and cilantro in an attractive bowl. Combine the zucchini, avocado and lemon or lime juice and olive oil in another bowl. Taste and add salt if desired. Add to the tomatoes, and toss together gently. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve on lettuce leaves as a salad, or serve over rice.
