Ingredients
Scale
2 ripe avocados, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 medium cucumber, chopped
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Prepare your ingredients: dice the avocados, halve the cherry tomatoes, chop the cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion.
Place the diced avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion into a medium mixing bowl.
In a small separate bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the zesty lime avocado salad dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients.
Gently toss everything together until the vegetables are lightly coated. Do not overmix, or the avocado will become mushy.
Serve this no cook avocado salad immediately for the best texture.
Notes
For a more filling meal, add grilled chicken or chickpeas to make this a complete healthy avocado salad lunch.
If you are meal prepping, store the dressing separately and combine just before serving to keep the vegetables crisp.
This recipe is a great base for a vibrant vegetable salad; feel free to add cilantro or a pinch of chili flakes for extra flavor.
