Instructions

Combine vegetables: In a large bowl, add the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, diced avocado, finely chopped red onion, and chopped fresh cilantro. Gently mix to combine all the fresh ingredients.
Make the dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper until well emulsified to create a bright, tangy dressing.
Toss the salad: Pour the prepared dressing over the salad mixture, then gently toss the ingredients to ensure everything is evenly coated without mashing the avocado.
Serve or chill: Serve the salad immediately for the freshest taste, or for a more melded flavor, chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, use ripe but firm avocados to avoid a mushy texture.
You can add a pinch of chili flakes for a subtle spicy kick.
This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
Feel free to add a sprinkle of feta cheese or toasted nuts for extra flavor and texture.
