Tomato Cucumber Smash Salad

Inspired by the bright, herbaceous flavors of a traditional fattoush salad, this Tomato Cucumber Smash Salad was created for The Inner Table as a fresh, vibrant dish meant for sharing. Hydrating cucumbers, antioxidant-rich tomatoes, potent red onion, creamy avocado, fresh mint, and heart- healthy olive oil come together with lime and jalapeño for a refreshing balance of flavor, texture, and anti-inflammatory nourishment.
