Cucumber Avocado Salad
Zesty cucumber salad with avocados and a homemade lime dressing.
Servings: 8 people
Ingredients
- 1 large or 2 medium Cucumber chopped
- 3 medium Avocado diced
- ⅓ cup Cherry or grape tomatoes quartered
- ¼ large Red onion sliced or diced
Cilantro Lime Dressing
- 1 tbsp Fresh cilantro finely chopped
- 2 tsp Honey
- 5 tbsp Lime juice I used the juice of 2 limes
- Lime zest from 1-2 limes depending on preference
- ½ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Black pepper
- ¼ tsp Dried thyme
- ½ tsp Dried oregano
Instructions
- As preparation, extract the juice from 2 medium limes, about 5 tablespoons of juice. Use the zest from both or just one.
- Mix all dressing ingredients with a whisk until everything is evenly dispersed.
- Chop all necessary salad ingredients, making sure to chop the avocados last. You don't want to chop them first because they will begin to oxidize.
- Combine the dressing with the salad ingredients in a large bowl, gently folding the mixture with a wooden spoon or spatula. Use careful motions to avoid accidentally mashing the avocado. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve immediately, or cover the bowl and place it in the fridge until serving. It is best enjoyed on the same day!
