Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 large English cucumber
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 small Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fat-free yogurt
- 0.5 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Begin by slicing the avocado in half, removing the pit, and gently scooping out the flesh. Chop the avocado into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the cucumber if desired, slice it lengthwise, and then chop it into half-moon shapes. Add the cucumber slices to the bowl with the avocado.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, and add them to the mixing bowl.
Finely slice a quarter of the small red onion and add to the mix for a touch of sharpness.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, fat-free yogurt, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a simple, low-fat dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large mixing bowl.
Gently toss the salad with chopped cilantro until all ingredients are well combined and evenly coated in the dressing. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with extra cilantro if desired. Serve immediately for maximum freshness.
