Walnut Free Cucumber Avocado Lime Salad
Crisp cucumber and buttery avocado are a match made in summer, and a bright lime dressing pulls the whole thing together in minutes. The olive oil adds just enough richness to balance the citrus, while fresh cilantro brings an herby lift that makes every bite feel alive. A pinch of red pepper flakes on top is optional, but it adds a subtle kick that takes the salad from simple to seriously craveable. Because every ingredient here is whole and straightforward, there are no hidden additives or shared-facility concerns to stress over — just clean, fresh produce and pantry staples. The key to keeping it beautiful is folding the avocado in gently rather than stirring aggressively, so you get lush, intact chunks instead of guacamole. This one is best served right away while the cucumbers are still crisp and the avocado is perfectly creamy.
