Cashew Free Cucumber Avocado Lime Salad
Bright, creamy, and refreshingly simple, this cucumber avocado lime salad is the kind of dish that disappears fast at any table. Crisp English cucumber and buttery avocado get tossed in a punchy lime and olive oil dressing that ties everything together without any fuss. A handful of fresh cilantro adds an herby lift, and a pinch of red pepper flakes gives it just enough heat to keep things interesting. Every single ingredient here is whole and straightforward, so there's zero guesswork about what's hiding in the bowl — no nuts, no processed sauces, nothing unexpected. The gentle folding technique keeps the avocado in satisfying chunks rather than turning it into mush, which makes every bite feel intentional. It's the kind of salad that works alongside grilled proteins, tucked into tacos, or honestly just eaten straight from the bowl with a fork.
