Lactose Free Cucumber Avocado Lime Salad
This bright, refreshing salad is everything you want on a warm day — cool cucumber, buttery avocado, and a zingy lime dressing that ties it all together beautifully. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of dairy, so there's no swapping, substituting, or label-checking required. The dressing is just fresh lime juice and extra-virgin olive oil whisked together, which means it's light and clean without any cream or cheese weighing it down. Folding in the avocado gently keeps those chunks intact, giving you rich, satisfying bites throughout rather than a mushy mess. A handful of torn cilantro adds an herby lift, and a pinch of red pepper flakes at the end brings just enough heat to keep things interesting. It comes together in one bowl with zero cooking, making it an effortless side that still feels a little special.
