The combination of ripe avocado, crunchy cucumbers, and juicy tomatoes makes this such a delicious and easy salad recipe that's perfect for summertime. A little red onion and radicchio adds a pleasant bite, while the simple dressing of olive oil and red wine vinegar melds all the flavors together. And don't be tempted to dice the avocado too small — leaving it in large pieces lets its creamy texture standout as the star of the salad.
