Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced or diced
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp fresh dill or cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumber, diced avocados, and red onion. If using, add the halved cherry tomatoes.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Toss the salad: Pour the dressing over the cucumber and avocado mixture. Gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly without mashing the avocado.
- Add herbs: Sprinkle the chopped dill or cilantro over the salad and give it one final gentle toss.
- Serve: Serve immediately as a fresh side dish. If preparing in advance, add the avocado just before serving to prevent it from browning.
