Vegetarian Vegan Gluten Free Cucumber Avocado Salad Healthy Delicious Refreshing Nutritious Easy

Ingredients

1 large cucumber
2 ripe avocados
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Start by peeling the cucumber and cutting it into thin slices. If you prefer, you can also peel stripes of the cucumber skin for a decorative touch.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Cut the avocado into bite-sized chunks and gently toss with a bit of lime juice to prevent browning.
In a large bowl, combine the cucumber slices, avocado chunks, red onion slices, and chopped cilantro.
Drizzle the olive oil and the remaining lime juice over the salad ingredients. Gently toss everything together to ensure that the avocado and cucumber are well coated.
Season the salad with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Remember that the avocado will add a creamy texture, so a little extra salt may be needed.
Once everything is well mixed, let the salad sit in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the cucumber and avocado salad chilled as a refreshing side dish or as a light lunch option. Enjoy the combination of crunchy cucumber, creamy avocado, and zesty lime dressing with every bite.
