Ingredients
  

2 medium cucumbers, diced

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 lime, juiced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon honey (or agave syrup for a vegan option)

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Feta cheese, crumbled (for non-vegan option)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cucumbers: Start by dicing the cucumbers into bite-sized pieces. You can peel them if you prefer a less bitter taste, but leaving the skin on adds a nice crunch and color.

    Dice the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Dice it into chunks similar in size to the cucumbers.

      Mix the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cucumbers, avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped red onion. Toss gently to mix the ingredients without mashing the avocado.

        Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary. If you like a bit more acidity, feel free to add more lime juice.

          Combine: Pour the dressing over the salad and add the chopped cilantro. Gently toss everything together until the vegetables are well-coated with the dressing.

            Serve: If you're using feta cheese, sprinkle crumbled feta on top just before serving. This salad is best served fresh, but can be stored in the fridge for up to a day.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or light meal. This salad pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or can stand alone as a healthy lunch.
