Avocado Salad

Report

This avocado salad recipe is a quick, healthy side dish! It has a delicious combination of textures—creamy avocado plays off juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumber, and crunchy red onion and peppers. A bright lime dressing ties it all together.

Instructions

Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, avocado oil, honey, garlic, salt, cumin, and several grinds of pepper.
Set aside a little of the jalapeño, red onion, and cilantro for garnish.
Add the avocado to a medium bowl. Evenly arrange the cucumber, tomatoes, and remaining jalapeño, red onion, and cilantro on top. Drizzle with most of the dressing and gently stir. Be careful not to overmix. With too much stirring, the avocado will coat the other ingredients (think guacamole).
Top the salad with the reserved jalapeño, red onion, and cilantro and a little more of the dressing. Season to taste, adding more dressing or pinches of flaky sea salt as desired.
Serve immediately.
