In this simple, healthy salad, tender avocado pairs beautifully with juicy, crunchy cucumbers and red onion. Like any other avocado salad, its beauty lies in its creaminess, even without a creamy or mayonnaise-based dressing. This is all thanks to a small amount of mashed avocado mixed with olive oil, honey, and freshly squeezed lime juice. A touch of cumin adds extra flavor. Gently toss the salad with the dressing and fresh parsley, preferably by hand to avoid crushing the tender pieces, and serve immediately as an appetizer or side dish.
