Description
A vibrant Mediterranean-inspired salad with avocado, cucumber, and tangy lime dressing. Chilled to preserve texture and flavor, it’s perfect for meal prepping 4 servings ahead of time.
Ingredients
2 ripe avocados
1 medium cucumber
2 large tomatoes (or cherry tomatoes)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
Dice cucumber into ½-inch cubes. Scoop avocados into chunks. Dice tomatoes similarly.
Spread vegetables on a parchment-lined tray. Refrigerate 1 hour.
Toss refrigerated vegetables with olive oil, lime juice, and honey. Adjust salt and pepper.
Pack into airtight containers and refrigerate up to 24 hours before serving.
Notes
Salt cucumber briefly (5 minutes) to remove moisture.
Use limes over lemons for sharper flavor.
Add ¼ cup crumbled feta or chickpeas (30 minutes before serving) for protein.
Substitute jicama for cucumber or steamed edamame for avocado.
Avoid underripe avocados and over-marinating to prevent browning or sogginess.
