Avocado Salad is a fresh and zesty side dish made with creamy avocado, crisp cucumbers, red onion, and herbs, all tossed in a tangy lime dressing.

Ingredients

2 ripe avocados, sliced into 1 cm pieces

3 cucumbers (~17 cm each), sliced into 4 mm rounds

1/4 red onion, finely sliced

2 tbsp dill, finely chopped (optional but recommended)

2 tbsp coriander/cilantro leaves, roughly chopped (optional but recommended)

Dressing:

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

3 tbsp lime juice (or lemon juice, to taste)

1/4 tsp chili flakes

1/4 tsp black pepper

3/4 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Slice avocado, cucumbers, and red onion. Place in a large bowl.
  2. Add dill and coriander for freshness.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, lime juice, chili flakes, black pepper, and salt.
  4. Pour dressing over salad and toss gently to coat without mashing avocado.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.

Notes

Add cherry tomatoes for sweetness or feta for a salty, creamy touch.

Mix in chickpeas or quinoa for a heartier salad.

For a tropical version, add mango or pineapple.

Use extra chili flakes or fresh chili for more spice.

Serve immediately for best freshness, as avocado browns quickly.
