Description
This simple avocado salad is fresh, creamy, and full of bright lime flavor. It comes together in minutes and makes the perfect light side dish. This recipe makes 4 small side servings or 2 larger portions if you’d like to add protein and enjoy it as a meal. We like the sweetness of the honey here, but you can omit it for a sugar-free option.
Ingredients
- 1 English cucumber, diced
- 1 large avocado, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (or parsley)
- 1-2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 lime)
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt or kosher salt
Instructions
- Add the diced cucumber, diced avocado & chopped cilantro to a medium bowl.
- Drizzle the lime juice & honey over the salad, then sprinkle the salt. Gently toss to coat. Taste and adjust with more lime or salt as needed. Serve immediately.
Notes
Herb swaps: If you don’t like cilantro, use parsley, dill, or chives.
Citrus swap: Lemon juice works just as well as lime.
Make it a meal: Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas for protein.
Extra crunch: Try thinly sliced red onion or diced bell pepper.
Storage: Best eaten fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to help prevent browning.
