Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe avocados, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 English cucumber, chopped
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare your components: Dice the avocados, halve the cherry tomatoes, and chop the cucumber. Thinly slice the red onion and chop the cilantro.
  2. Combine the vegetables: Place the diced avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion into a medium mixing bowl.
  3. Make the dressing: In a small cup, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until combined.
  4. Dress the salad: Pour the lime dressing over the vegetable mixture.
  5. Toss gently: Use a rubber spatula to gently toss all ingredients until they are lightly coated. Avoid over-mixing to keep the avocado chunks intact.
  6. Finish and serve: Stir in the fresh cilantro. Serve this refreshing avocado salad immediately as a side dish or light lunch.

Notes

  • For a high protein salad option, add one cup of shredded cooked chicken or two chopped hard-boiled eggs to this mix.
  • If you are meal prepping, keep the dressing separate and toss just before serving to prevent the avocado from browning too quickly.
  • This recipe works well as a no mayo salad alternative for traditional egg or chicken salads.
