Almond Free Cucumber Avocado Lime Salad
Cool, creamy, and bright with citrus, this salad is the kind of dish that disappears fast at any table. Ripe avocado and crisp English cucumber are a natural pairing, and the fresh lime juice dressing ties everything together with a tangy punch that feels genuinely refreshing. A drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil rounds out the dressing and gives it just enough richness to complement the buttery avocado without weighing things down. Torn cilantro adds an herby lift, and a pinch of red pepper flakes at the end brings a subtle heat if you're into that. The whole thing comes together in one bowl with nothing more than a whisk and a gentle fold — no cooking required. Every ingredient here is straightforward and whole, so you never have to second-guess what's in it or worry about hidden nut-based oils sneaking into your meal. Serve it immediately for the best texture, though honestly it's hard to imagine it lasting long enough to need storing.
