Ingredients
  

2 large cucumbers, peeled and diced

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

Juice of 1 lemon

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 teaspoon cumin (optional)

Feta cheese, crumbled (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: Start by peeling and dicing the cucumbers into bite-sized pieces. Dice the ripe avocado and halve the cherry tomatoes. Finely chop the red onion and the fresh cilantro.

    Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cucumbers, avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro.

      Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and cumin (if using). Adjust seasoning according to your taste.

        Combine: Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Toss gently to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.

          Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top for an extra burst of flavor.

            Chill (Optional): For best results, chill the salad in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
