Almond Free Avocado Cucumber Salad
This bright, refreshing salad is the kind of dish that looks stunning on the table without requiring much effort at all. Creamy avocado and cool cucumber are a natural pairing, and the golden turmeric-ginger dressing ties everything together with a subtle warmth that feels a little unexpected in a salad this simple. Scallions add a mild bite, while fresh cilantro and optional mint keep the whole bowl tasting light and vibrant. Every single ingredient here is whole and straightforward — no packaged dressings, no trail mix toppers, no hidden tree nut oils to second-guess. The dressing comes together with a quick whisk of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, ginger, and turmeric, so you know exactly what's going into it. Just fold gently when combining so the avocado stays in beautiful chunks rather than turning into a mash. Serve it immediately for the best texture, and don't be surprised when it disappears fast.
