Perfect Avocado Salad
Fresh avocado salad with cucumber, lime, and herbs. Quick, healthy, and ready in 10 minutes!
Ingredients
- 2 medium avocados about 2 cups cubed
- 2 cups 300g cucumber, cubed (about 1 large cucumber)
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice from 1 to 2 limes
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 jalapeño seeds and membrane removed, finely chopped
- 1 small garlic clove minced (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt or more to taste
- ½ cup 25g fresh herbs, chopped (cilantro, parsley, basil, dill, or a mix)
- Hot sauce optional for serving
Instructions
Make the Dressing
- In the bottom of a medium salad bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, garlic (if using), jalapeño, and salt until well combined. Stir in the chopped fresh herbs. If prepping ahead, you can cover and refrigerate the dressing for up to 24 hours.
Prep the Avocado & Cucumber
- Just before serving, cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and cube the flesh. Cube the cucumber and add both to the bowl with the dressing.
Toss & Serve
- Gently toss the avocado and cucumber in the dressing until well coated. Be careful not to overmix—this keeps the avocado chunky and intact.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or a few dashes of hot sauce if desired.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
