Begin by preparing the vegetables. Peel the avocados, remove the pits, and dice them into bite-sized pieces. Place the avocado pieces in a large mixing bowl.
Wash and peel the cucumber, then dice it into small cubes. Add the cucumber to the bowl with the avocado.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, and add them to the bowl.
Finely dice half of a small red onion and add it to the mixture.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro, discarding any large stems. Add it to the salad in the bowl.
Juice a fresh lime to obtain two tablespoons of lime juice and pour it over the salad to help prevent the avocado from browning.
Season the salad by sprinkling in 0.25 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Adjust to taste if necessary.
Gently toss all the ingredients together with a large spoon, ensuring the lime juice and seasonings are evenly distributed.
Serve the salad immediately for the freshest taste, or cover and refrigerate for up to two hours before serving.
