Citric Acid Free Avocado Cucumber Cilantro Salad
Crisp cucumber, buttery avocado, and bright cilantro come together in a salad that feels refreshing and satisfying all at once. The dressing is a simple whisk of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and cumin ā no citrus juice in sight, which makes this a genuinely easy win when you need to avoid citric acid without sacrificing flavor. Apple cider vinegar brings just enough tang to lift the whole bowl without triggering the concerns that come with lemon or lime-based dressings. Folding the avocado in gently at the end keeps those chunks intact and luxuriously creamy rather than turning into mush. The optional scallion greens add a mild, fresh bite on top that makes the whole thing look as good as it tastes. This one is best served right away while the cucumbers are still crisp and the avocado is at its peak ā no waiting around required.
