Notes
- Cherry tomatoes can be used in place of regular tomatoes if preferred.
- English or Persian cucumbers both work well in this recipe.
- The honey is optional. The original version used sugar, but honey or agave provide a similar sweetness and blend nicely with the other flavors.
- Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep in mind that the avocado may darken slightly over time.
