Mustard 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. The dressing comes together with just lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper — no condiments, no bottled sauces, nothing that could sneak in hidden ingredients. That makes it a genuinely stress-free option for anyone navigating mustard sensitivities, since even a basic vinaigrette can be a minefield at the store. Ripe avocado adds richness and body, while crisp cucumber keeps every bite cool and light. Fresh cilantro lifts the whole thing with a herby brightness, and a pinch of red pepper flakes gives it just enough of a kick if you're in the mood. The key is folding gently so the avocado stays in satisfying chunks rather than turning into a mash. Serve it immediately for the best texture — this one is worth eating the moment it hits the bowl.
