Avocado, Cucumber, Tomato Salad


Sometimes I crave healthy food.  Sometimes.  I know.  It's kind of a miracle when that happens.  This salad happens to have a combination of three of my favorites - tomatoes, cucumbers, and avocados, and I used a dressing using no oil...and just a tiny bit of mayo :)  So, the dressing gives it just a kick of lemon and vinegar, without taking away from the fresh taste of the rest of the salad.  Love!  So, if you are having one of those days that you are wanting something fresh and healthy, give this one a try.  Enjoy!
