This salad brings together the crispness of cucumbers and the zesty kick of lime, creating a dish that’s light yet bursting with flavor. The fresh cilantro will have your taste buds dancing!
Ingredients
- 4 cucumbers, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
- 2 avocados, diced
- 1/3 cup fresh lime juice (about 2-3 limes)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick
Instructions
- Start by washing and peeling your cucumbers. Slice them thinly into rounds. You want them nice and crisp, so a sharp knife is a must!
- Next up, grab a big mixing bowl and toss the sliced cucumbers in there. Add the chopped cilantro and diced red onion to the bowl.
- Now, let’s make that zesty dressing. In a small bowl, mix together the lime juice and olive oil. Whisk it together until it’s well combined. This is where all the magic happens, so make it good!
- Pour that fresh lime dressing over your cucumber mixture. Gently toss everything together. We want all those flavors to mingle without mushin’ up those cucumbers!
- Finally, taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. If you’re feeling bold, throw in some sliced jalapeños for a touch of heat!
- Let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 15-30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors blend beautifully, and it makes for a refreshing dish.
And there you have it, folks! Serve this Cilantro-Lime Cucumber Salad at your next gathering or keep it all to yourself. It’s light, tasty, and will brighten up any meal. Enjoy!
