Hazelnut Free Cucumber Avocado Lime Salad
Crisp cucumber and buttery avocado are a natural pairing, and a bright lime dressing ties them together in the most refreshing way. Every ingredient here is clean and straightforward — fresh produce, olive oil, citrus, and herbs — so there's zero guesswork about what's actually in your bowl. That matters a lot when you're navigating tree nut allergies and trying to avoid cross-contamination from shared facilities or mystery dressings at the store. The technique is just as simple as the ingredient list: a quick whisk, a gentle fold, and you're done. Folding rather than stirring keeps those avocado chunks intact, giving you satisfying bites instead of green mush. A pinch of red pepper flakes at the end adds a subtle kick if you want it, but the salad is equally delicious without. Fresh, vibrant, and completely fuss-free, this is the kind of dish that disappears fast at any table.
