Paraben 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 cumin-lime dressing is whisked together in minutes and ties every ingredient into something that tastes far more impressive than the effort involved. Red onion and fresh cilantro add a little sharpness and herby lift, while an optional jalapeño brings just enough heat to keep things interesting. Because this recipe is built entirely from whole, fresh produce and simple pantry staples like extra-virgin olive oil and ground cumin, there are no hidden additives or synthetic preservatives to worry about — exactly what you want when you're keeping things clean. The folding technique at the end is key: it keeps those avocado cubes intact and luscious rather than turning the whole thing into guacamole. Serve it immediately straight from the bowl and it's an effortless side dish, a taco topping, or honestly just something you eat with a spoon standing over the counter.
