PCOS Friendly Avocado Cucumber Cilantro Salad

Crisp cucumber, creamy avocado, and bright cilantro come together in a salad that feels refreshing and satisfying all at once. The dressing is a simple whisk of extra-virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar seasoned with cumin and garlic powder — ingredients that pull serious flavor without relying on anything processed or inflammatory. That matters a lot when you're managing hormonal balance, since keeping added sugars and refined ingredients out of everyday meals is one of the most consistent pieces of advice around. Healthy fats from the avocado and olive oil help support steady blood sugar levels, which is exactly what this kind of eating is all about. The gentle fold at the end keeps the avocado in chunky, luxurious pieces rather than turning the whole bowl into guacamole. Optional scallion greens add a mild bite that makes the whole thing feel a little more finished. It comes together fast, looks gorgeous in the bowl, and is the kind of dish you'll want to make on repeat all summer long.
