Prepare the Salad Ingredients
- Start by preparing the cucumbers. Peel them if desired, then cut them in half lengthwise and dice into bite-sized pieces. This helps to create a uniform texture and makes them easier to eat.
- Next, cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Dice the avocado into cubes. To prevent browning, you can drizzle a little lime juice over the avocado.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the red onion. The tomatoes add sweetness and color, while the onion provides a nice crunch and flavor.
- Finally, chop the fresh cilantro. This herb adds a fresh, vibrant flavor to the salad.
Make the Dressing
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, freshly squeezed lime juice, honey (if using), salt, and black pepper. Whisk them together until the mixture is well combined and emulsified. This dressing will enhance the flavors of the salad ingredients.
Combine and Serve
- In a large serving bowl, combine the diced cucumbers, avocados, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, and cilantro. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together to coat the ingredients evenly without mashing the avocado.
- Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if necessary. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes
For best results, use ripe avocados that yield slightly to pressure. This salad is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. To prevent browning, cover tightly with plastic wrap.
