Low Sugar Avocado Cucumber Cilantro Salad

Cool, creamy, and packed with bright flavor, this salad is the kind of dish that disappears fast at any table. Ripe avocado and crisp English cucumber are a natural pairing — one rich and buttery, the other refreshing and light — and the combination is genuinely satisfying without needing a single gram of added sweetness. The dressing is a simple whisk of extra-virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and cumin, which means every bit of flavor comes from real ingredients rather than hidden sugars you'd find in many bottled dressings. Fresh cilantro and optional scallion greens round things out with a herby, slightly sharp finish that keeps every bite interesting. The gentle folding technique keeps the avocado in chunky, intact pieces rather than turning the whole bowl into guacamole, which makes for a much more satisfying texture. It comes together in one bowl with no cooking required, making it an effortless choice for a weeknight side or a casual lunch. Serve it right away to catch the cucumbers at their crispest and the avocado at its creamiest.
