Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, diced into bite-sized pieces

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 cucumber, peeled and diced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (about half a lime)

1 teaspoon honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for a little heat)

Instructions
 

Prep the Veggies: Begin by thoroughly washing all the vegetables. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, carefully dice the avocados and cucumber, and finely chop the red onion and cilantro to create a vibrant mix.

    Mix the Salad: In a spacious mixing bowl, gently combine the diced avocados, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, and diced cucumber. Be careful not to mash the avocado.

      Dress the Salad: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lime juice, honey (if desired), salt, pepper, and chili flakes until everything is well blended and emulsified.

        Combine: Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture and use a gentle motion to toss everything together, ensuring that all ingredients are coated without damaging the delicate avocado pieces.

          Add Cilantro: Fold in the freshly chopped cilantro for an added burst of herbal freshness and flavor.

            Chill & Serve: Allow the salad to rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes prior to serving. This resting time helps the flavors meld beautifully. Enjoy it as a delightful side dish or a light and refreshing main course.
