Alpha Gal Friendly Avocado Cucumber Cilantro Salad

Crisp cucumber, buttery avocado, and a shower of fresh cilantro come together in a salad that feels bright, cooling, and genuinely satisfying. The dressing is a simple whisk of extra-virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and cumin — bold enough to tie everything together without overpowering the fresh produce. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of mammalian meat byproducts, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress involved. That's a bigger deal than it sounds, since dressings and packaged salad kits are often where hidden animal-derived additives sneak in. Folding the avocado in gently at the end keeps the chunks intact and gives you that lush, creamy texture in every bite rather than a green mush. A handful of scallion greens on top adds a mild, oniony finish if you want a little extra pop. This is the kind of effortless, plant-forward dish that works as a light lunch, a cookout side, or an anytime snack when you need something fresh and fuss-free.
