Mushroom Free Avocado Salad with Cilantro Lime Dressing

Creamy avocado, juicy cherry tomatoes, crisp cucumber, and a bright cilantro lime dressing come together in a salad that feels both refreshing and genuinely satisfying. The zesty dressing is whisked together from scratch — olive oil, fresh lime juice, lime zest, garlic, and a touch of cumin — so every bite carries a bold, citrusy punch that store-bought dressings rarely match. Optional black beans add a hearty, protein-packed element that can easily turn this into a light main course rather than just a side. Folding everything together gently is the key move here, keeping those avocado chunks intact so you get lush, buttery pieces throughout rather than a guacamole situation. This is naturally free from fungi in any form, with every ingredient clean, whole, and easy to verify at a glance — no hidden extras to second-guess. It comes together in minutes and is best served right away while the avocado is at its freshest and the dressing is still vibrant.
