Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1 diced ripe avocado, 1 medium thinly sliced cucumber, and 1/4 cup finely minced red onion, gently tossing to prevent browning.
Step 2: Add 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, 1 tbsp lime juice, and 1/4 tsp sea salt to the bowl. Toss gently until all ingredients are evenly coated, then let sit for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Step 3: Serve chilled as a light side dish or over greens, ensuring the avocado remains creamy and the cucumber provides a crisp texture without excess moisture.
