Ingredients
  

1 large cucumber, diced

2 ripe avocados, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon lime juice

Salt and black pepper to taste

Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper for a kick

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: Start by rinsing the cucumber and cherry tomatoes under cool water. Peel the cucumber if you prefer, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes and set aside.

    Slice the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Dice the avocado into similar-sized pieces as the cucumber.

      Red Onion: Thinly slice the red onion and add it to a large mixing bowl. If you find the onion too pungent, soak the slices in cold water for 10 minutes before adding them to the salad.

        Combine Ingredients: In the same bowl, add the diced cucumber, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.

          Dress the Salad: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, salt, black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper until well combined. Pour this dressing over the salad ingredients.

            Toss Gently: Using a spatula or large spoon, gently toss the salad until everything is nicely coated with the dressing. Be careful not to mash the avocado.

              Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving dish or leave it in the mixing bowl. Optional: Garnish with additional cilantro or a slice of lime on top for presentation. Enjoy chilled!
