ingredient
- 3 cups diced avocado, ¾" dice (about 3 large avocados)
- 2 cups English cucumber, quartered, ¼" thick slices
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ cup radish, halved, cut into ⅛" thick slices
- ½ cup red onion, 1" long, ⅛" thick slices
- 2 teaspoons minced jalapeno pepper, optional
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- ¼ cup lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, more for garnish
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup avocado oil, or olive oil
Directions
- Prepare the Avocados – Cut the avocados in half lengthwise, and twist to separate the halves. Remove the pits, then cut them into about ¾-inch dice. Transfer to a large serving bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or foil if not used right away.
- Combine the Mix-ins – To the bowl of avocados, add the cucumbers, tomatoes, radish, red onion, and jalapeno pepper. Cover and set aside.
- Make the Salad Dressing – In a medium bowl, whisk together lime zest, lime juice, honey, cilantro, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Slowly drizzle in the avocado oil, consistently whisking until a thickened dressing is formed. Taste and season with more salt and pepper as desired.
- To Serve – Drizzle the dressing over the salad, and gently toss to combine. Garnish with cilantro and serve immediately.
