Oats Free Cucumber Avocado Lime Salad
Crisp cucumber and buttery avocado are a match made in summer, and a bright lime dressing ties everything together with just the right amount of tang. The fresh cilantro adds an herby lift, while a pinch of red pepper flakes brings a subtle kick if you're in the mood for a little heat. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from grains and oats, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden fillers sneaking into your bowl. The technique is all about being gentle — folding the avocado in rather than stirring keeps those chunks creamy and intact instead of turning into mush. A quick taste and adjust at the end means you can dial up the lime or salt to exactly where you want it. This is the kind of salad that disappears fast at a cookout or works just as well as a light weeknight side alongside grilled fish or chicken.
