Tree Nut Free Cucumber Avocado Lime Salad
Crisp cucumber and buttery avocado are a match made in summer, and a bright lime dressing ties the whole thing together in the most refreshing way. The technique here is simple but smart — tossing the cucumber in the dressing first means every slice is fully coated before the avocado goes in, so you get flavor in every bite without accidentally turning it into guacamole. Fresh cilantro adds a herby lift, and a pinch of red pepper flakes at the end gives it just enough heat to keep things interesting. This is the kind of salad that disappears fast at a cookout or works just as well as a quick weeknight side. Because every ingredient is whole and straightforward, there's no need to scan labels for hidden nut-based oils or additives — just clean, vibrant produce and pantry staples. Serve it immediately after assembling so the avocado stays gorgeous and the cucumbers keep their satisfying crunch.
