Title: Simple Salad – Fresh, Crisp, and Delicious

1. Prepare the vegetables:
   Wash the lettuce, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel. Slice the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and avocado into bite-sized pieces.

2. Assemble the salad:
   In a large salad bowl, combine the lettuce, cucumber slices, avocado slices, and halved cherry tomatoes. Gently toss the ingredients together to mix.

3. Add dressing (optional):
   Drizzle your choice of dressing over the salad, and toss gently to coat the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Serve:
   Serve the salad immediately, or refrigerate it for up to an hour if you prefer it chilled.

Serving and Storage Tips:

• Serve fresh: This simple salad is best served fresh to maintain the crispness of the vegetables, especially the avocado.
• Storage: If storing leftovers, keep the salad in an airtight container for up to 1 day. It’s best to store the avocado separately and add it just before serving to prevent browning.

Variants:

1. Add Protein: Add grilled chicken, chickpeas, or boiled eggs for a more filling salad.
2. Spicy Version: Add a few slices of jalapeño or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
3. Cheese: Sprinkle some feta cheese, goat cheese, or shredded mozzarella on top for extra flavor.
