Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl. Mash the avocado gently with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
Roll the lime on the countertop to help release the juices, then cut it in half and squeeze all the juice into the avocado. Mix well to combine and to prevent the avocado from browning.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the bowl with the avocado.
Finely dice the red onion and add it to the bowl. This will add a nice tangy crunch to the salad.
Chop the fresh cilantro finely and add it to the mixture.
Peel and dice the cucumber into small cubes and add it to the mix, adding a refreshing crunch.
To control the heat, slice the jalapeño in half, remove the seeds and white membrane, then finely dice and add to the bowl. Use as much or as little as you prefer.
Season the salad with salt and black pepper to taste.
Fold in the fat-free Greek yogurt to add creaminess to the salad without adding extra fat, and mix all ingredients until well combined.
Adjust seasoning if needed and serve immediately as a side dish or with your choice of dippers like vegetable sticks or low-fat whole wheat chips.
