Seed Oil Free Cucumber Avocado Lime Salad
Bright, creamy, and refreshingly simple, this salad is the kind of dish that feels like summer in a bowl. Crisp cucumber and buttery avocado are a natural pairing, and a punchy lime-and-olive-oil dressing ties everything together without weighing it down. Extra-virgin olive oil is the only fat here, which means you're completely clear of the refined vegetable and seed oils that sneak into so many store-bought dressings and packaged salads. The whole thing comes together in one bowl with just a whisk and a gentle fold — no stove, no fuss. Fresh cilantro adds an herby lift, and a pinch of red pepper flakes gives it just enough heat to keep things interesting. It's the kind of clean, vibrant side that works alongside grilled proteins, tucked into tacos, or honestly eaten straight from the bowl with a fork.
