Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 2 whole large cucumbers
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.5 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt

Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the vegetables. Peel and pit the avocados, then cut them into bite-sized cubes. Place the avocado cubes in a large salad bowl.
Step 2
Wash the cucumbers, then slice them into thin rounds. If desired, you can peel the cucumbers for a softer texture. Add the cucumber slices to the bowl with the avocados.
Step 3
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and halve them. Add the tomato halves to the salad bowl.
Step 4
Finely chop half of a medium red onion and add it to the bowl.
Step 5
Chop the fresh cilantro roughly and stir it in with the vegetables.
Step 6
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lime juice and extra-virgin olive oil until well combined. Season with the sea salt and black pepper.
Step 7
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss all the ingredients together until they are evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 8
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if desired.
Step 9
Serve the salad immediately as a side dish or enjoy it as a light main course. For additional heart-healthy fats, sprinkle with some optional toasted nuts or seeds.
