Ingredients
  

1 large English cucumber, diced

2 ripe avocados, diced

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

Juice of 2 limes

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (for a kick)

Instructions
 

Prep the Vegetables: Start by rinsing the cucumber and cherry tomatoes under cold water. Dice the cucumber into bite-sized pieces and halve the cherry tomatoes. Place both in a large mixing bowl.

    Avocado Magic: Halve the ripe avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into the bowl with the diced cucumber and tomatoes. Gently toss to combine and prevent the avocado from mashing.

      Onion and Cilantro: Add the finely chopped red onion and fresh cilantro to the bowl for a burst of flavor and color.

        Dress it Up: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and red chili flakes if using. Pour this dressing over the salad mixture.

          Tossing it All Together: Gently toss the salad with the dressing until everything is well coated. Be careful not to mash the avocado too much.

            Chill and Serve: For the best flavor, let the salad sit for about 10-15 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld perfectly.

              Enjoy your Creation: Serve in bowls or on a platter, perhaps garnished with additional cilantro or a sprinkle of chili flakes if desired. Enjoy this light and refreshing salad!
