BHA & BHT Free Vegan Fresh Avocado Cucumber Salad
Bright, creamy, and packed with fresh produce, this salad is the kind of dish that looks impressive but comes together in minutes with zero cooking required. Ripe avocado cubes get folded together with crisp English cucumber, juicy cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion, all tied together with a zippy lime and cumin dressing. Every single ingredient here is whole and unprocessed, which means no synthetic preservatives like BHA or BHT sneaking in through packaged shortcuts — just real food, straight from your cutting board. The extra-virgin olive oil and fresh lime juice do double duty as both dressing and a natural way to keep those avocado cubes looking vibrant. A handful of cilantro and an optional jalapeño round out the flavor with herby brightness and a gentle kick. The key to nailing the texture is folding gently at the end so the avocado stays chunky rather than turning into guacamole. Serve it immediately for the best color and crunch — this one doesn't like to wait.
