This refreshing and nourishing Cucumber Avocado Peach Summer Salad is easy to put together and bursting with flavor!

This salad is great for bringing to gatherings, because it’s best to prepare it a couple hours ahead of time. This gives time for all the flavors to blend and makes the salad really delicious! I love salads which can be made ahead, since then I don’t have to spend time chopping away in the kitchen just before dinner.

This summer salad gives you a yummy opportunity to add more healthy fats to your diet with the avocado and olive oil. And avocado contains not just healthy fats, but also:

fiber,
potassium,
folate, and
vitamins C, B6, and K.
