Ingredients
Scale

- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare your vegetables: Dice the avocados and cucumber. Halve the tomatoes. Thinly slice the red onion. Chop the cilantro.
- Place the diced avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion into a large mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the vegetables in the large bowl.
- Gently toss all ingredients together until the vegetables are lightly coated. Be careful not to mash the avocado.
- Stir in the chopped cilantro just before serving.

Notes
- For a zesty avocado dressing variation, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing mixture.
- If you need a heartier meal, this salad works well with grilled chicken or shrimp added on top.
- You can prepare the vegetables (cucumber, tomato, onion) ahead of time, but add the avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
