Whole 30 Avocado Cucumber Salad
Crisp cucumber, creamy avocado, and a golden turmeric-ginger dressing come together in a salad that feels both refreshing and genuinely satisfying. The dressing is whisked up from pantry staples — olive oil, apple cider vinegar, fresh ginger, and turmeric — so every single ingredient is clean and compliant without any label-reading stress. Scallions and torn cilantro add brightness, while optional fresh mint takes the whole thing somewhere almost tropical. The key move here is folding the dressing in gently so the avocado stays in lush, intact chunks rather than turning into guacamole. It comes together in one bowl with no cooking required, which makes it an easy win on busy weeknights or as a vibrant side at a weekend cookout. Serve it immediately for the best texture — the cucumbers stay crisp and the avocado stays vivid and green.
