Turkey Free Cucumber Avocado Lime Salad
Crisp cucumber, creamy avocado, and a bright hit of fresh lime come together in a salad that feels like summer in a bowl. The dressing is nothing more than lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper — whisked together in seconds and packed with flavor. Torn cilantro adds an herby freshness, and a pinch of red pepper flakes gives the whole thing a subtle kick if you're into a little heat. Because every ingredient here is whole and plant-based, there's zero guesswork about what's in your bowl — no processed proteins, no hidden additives, just clean, vibrant produce. The key to pulling it off is folding the avocado in gently so it stays in satisfying chunks rather than turning into a mash. This one is best served right away while the cucumbers are still crisp and the avocado is perfectly creamy.
