Macadamia Free Cucumber Avocado Lime Salad
Crisp cucumber and buttery avocado are a match made in summer heaven, and a bright lime dressing ties everything together with just the right amount of zing. The olive oil adds a silky richness that makes each bite feel indulgent without weighing the salad down. A handful of torn cilantro brings freshness, and a pinch of red pepper flakes gives it a subtle kick if you're in the mood for a little heat. The whole thing comes together in one bowl with no cooking required — just a quick whisk, a gentle fold, and you're done. Because every ingredient here is whole and straightforward, you never have to second-guess what's in it or worry about hidden tree nuts sneaking into your meal. It's the kind of clean, vibrant side dish that works alongside grilled fish, tucked into tacos, or honestly eaten straight from the bowl with a fork.
