Creamy avocado, juicy cherry tomatoes, crisp cucumber, and a zippy cilantro lime dressing come together in a salad that feels both refreshing and genuinely satisfying. The homemade dressing is whisked together from olive oil, fresh lime juice, zest, garlic, and cumin — bright, bold flavors with zero mystery ingredients to worry about. Every component here is naturally free from rye and any grain-based fillers, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out. The optional black beans add a hearty, protein-packed element that makes this work just as well as a light main as it does a side. A gentle fold at the end keeps the avocado in beautiful chunks rather than turning the whole thing into guacamole. Serve it immediately for the best texture, though the dressing can be made ahead and stored until you're ready to toss.
