Begin by slicing the avocados in half, removing the pits, and scooping the flesh out with a spoon. Cut the avocado into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large salad bowl.
Peel the cucumber and dice it into small cubes. Add the diced cucumber to the bowl with the avocados.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the salad bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion and add the slices to the bowl.
Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the salad for an extra burst of flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl and gently toss everything together until the avocado, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and onion are evenly coated.
If using, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top before serving.
Serve the salad immediately as a fresh side dish or on its own for a light meal.
