This vibrant salad is a burst of fresh flavors, perfect for a light lunch or a refreshing side dish. Creamy avocado and juicy cherry tomatoes are tossed with crunchy cucumbers and a zesty lime dressing for a simple yet satisfying salad.
Instructions:
Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, gently combine the mixed greens, avocado, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
Dress and serve: Drizzle the desired amount of dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing flavors!

Toasted pepitas or sunflower seeds make a delicious crunchy topping.
If you prefer a milder onion flavor, substitute thinly sliced shallots for the red onion.
