Cilantro Lime Avocado Cucumber Salad with Tomatoes

Step 1

Start by making the cilantro lime dressing.  Add all dressing ingredients to a blender, or food processor, and blend until completely combined into a smooth sauce.  Give it a taste and add extra salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 2

To a large bowl, add the sliced cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, avocado and chickpeas.  Pour the dressing over the salad and mix everything together well.  If desired, mix in some extra chopped fresh cilantro before serving.  Serve salad immediately or chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Step 3

The dressing recipe does make a little more than you might need for this salad, but I love mixing it all together so there’s extra in the bottom of the bowl because it’s so good! You can pour the dressing on slowly and just mix in how much you desire.
