Soy Free Cucumber Avocado Lime Salad
Crisp cucumber, buttery avocado, and a bright hit of fresh lime come together in a salad that feels like summer in a bowl. The olive oil and lime dressing is whisked together in minutes, coating every slice and chunk with just the right balance of tang and richness. Because every ingredient here is whole and naturally plant-based, there's zero guesswork about hidden soy derivatives sneaking in through bottled dressings or processed add-ins. Torn cilantro adds a fresh, herby lift, and a pinch of red pepper flakes gives it a gentle kick if you're in the mood for a little heat. The key to keeping the avocado intact is folding rather than stirring — you want those gorgeous chunks to hold their shape and stay creamy against the cool cucumber. Serve it right away for the best texture, though a quick taste and seasoning adjustment at the end means it's always dialed in perfectly before it hits the table.
