BHA & BHT Free Cucumber Avocado Lime Salad
Cool, creamy, and bright with citrus, this salad is the kind of dish that disappears fast at any table. Crisp English cucumber and buttery avocado are a natural pairing, and the fresh lime juice ties everything together with just the right amount of tang. A drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil rounds out the dressing, keeping every ingredient whole and recognizable — no processed additives, no preservatives, nothing hiding in the label. That matters more than people realize, since BHA and BHT show up in a surprising number of packaged dressings and flavored oils. Here, you're whisking the dressing yourself from scratch, so you know exactly what's going in the bowl. Torn cilantro adds a herby lift, and a pinch of red pepper flakes gives it a gentle kick if you're in the mood. Serve it immediately so the avocado stays vibrant and the cucumbers keep their satisfying crunch.
