High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Cucumber Avocado Lime Salad
This bright, creamy salad is the kind of dish that looks effortless and tastes like you actually tried. Cool cucumber slices and buttery avocado chunks come together in a punchy lime and olive oil dressing that's completely made from scratch — no bottled shortcuts, no sweeteners hiding in the fine print. That matters more than you'd think, because so many store-bought dressings and pre-made salads sneak in corn syrup derivatives to balance acidity or extend shelf life. Here, fresh lime juice does all the heavy lifting, giving you that bright tang with nothing artificial in sight. A handful of torn cilantro and an optional pinch of red pepper flakes round out the flavor without complicating the ingredient list. The whole thing comes together in one bowl with just a whisk and a gentle fold, so you're not sacrificing convenience for clean eating. Serve it immediately while the avocado is still vibrant and the cucumbers have their satisfying crunch.
