Dairy Free Avocado Cucumber Cilantro Salad
Cool, creamy, and bright with fresh herbs, this salad is the kind of dish that disappears fast at any table. Crisp English cucumber and buttery avocado are a natural pairing, and the cumin-spiked apple cider vinegar dressing ties everything together with just the right amount of tang. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of dairy, so there's no swapping, substituting, or label-checking required ā just straightforward, wholesome produce and pantry staples. The cilantro adds a pop of freshness, and the optional scallion greens give it a subtle bite that makes the whole bowl feel a little more complete. Folding gently rather than stirring keeps those avocado chunks intact, so you get satisfying pieces in every bite instead of a mashed-up mess. Serve it right away while the cucumbers are still crisp and the avocado is at its best.
