Paleo Cucumber Avocado Lime Salad
Cool, creamy, and bright with citrus, this salad is the kind of dish that disappears fast at any table. Crisp cucumber half-moons and buttery avocado chunks get tossed in a simple lime and olive oil dressing that ties everything together without a single processed ingredient in sight. Fresh cilantro adds an herby lift, and a pinch of red pepper flakes gives it just enough heat to keep things interesting. Every ingredient here is whole and clean, which is exactly what makes this such a natural fit for anyone eating closer to the source. The technique is all about restraint — folding rather than stirring keeps those avocado chunks intact so you get satisfying bites instead of green mush. It comes together in minutes and is best served right away while the cucumbers are still crisp and the dressing is fresh and punchy.
