Lactose Free Vegan Fresh Avocado Cucumber Salad
Creamy avocado, crisp cucumber, and juicy cherry tomatoes come together in a bright, refreshing salad that feels like summer in a bowl. The lime-cumin dressing ties everything together with a citrusy kick, and the fresh cilantro adds an herby lift that makes each bite feel alive. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of dairy, so there's no swapping, substituting, or label-reading required — it just works. If you like a little heat, the optional jalapeño brings a gentle fire that plays beautifully against the cool cucumber and rich avocado. The key to this salad is folding the avocado in last and keeping it gentle so those cubes stay intact and luscious rather than turning into guacamole. It's best served right away while everything is fresh and the textures are at their peak — though honestly, it rarely lasts long enough to worry about leftovers.
