Turkey Free Vegan Fresh Avocado Cucumber Salad
This bright, fresh salad is everything you want on a warm day — creamy avocado, crisp cucumber, juicy cherry tomatoes, and a zippy lime dressing that ties it all together beautifully. The cumin adds a subtle earthy warmth that elevates the whole bowl without overpowering the clean, vibrant flavors. A handful of fresh cilantro and thinly sliced red onion round things out, and if you like a little heat, the optional jalapeño is absolutely worth it. The dressing comes together with just a whisk, and the whole thing is ready in minutes with zero cooking required. Folding the avocado in last keeps those cubes intact and luscious rather than turning the whole salad into guacamole — a small step that makes a big difference. It's naturally plant-based and completely free of any animal products, so it works for a wide range of eaters at the table. Serve it immediately for the best texture, or prep the veggies ahead and add the avocado right before eating.
