Sesame 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 torn cilantro adds a pop of freshness that ties everything together beautifully. The dressing is a simple whisk of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and cumin ā no bottled sauces, no hidden additives, just clean pantry staples that let the produce shine. For anyone navigating sesame concerns, this recipe is a genuine breath of fresh air since so many dressings and salad kits sneak in tahini or sesame oil without much fanfare. Every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify, which means you can toss this together with total confidence. A scatter of scallion greens over the top adds a mild oniony finish that makes the whole bowl look as good as it tastes. Serve it immediately so the avocado stays vibrant and the cucumbers keep their satisfying crunch.
