🥑 Creamy Avocado & Cucumber Salad

📝 Ingredients

For the Salad

• 2 large ripe avocados, diced
• 1 large cucumber, diced
• 2 medium tomatoes, diced
• 1 cup sweet corn, drained
• ½ small red onion, finely sliced
• ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

For the Creamy Dressing

• ½ cup mayonnaise
• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 small garlic clove, finely minced
• 1 teaspoon honey
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the vegetables: Wash and dry all the vegetables. Dice the avocados, cucumber, and tomatoes into bite-size pieces. Thinly slice the red onion and chop the parsley.
2. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
3. Combine the salad: Add the diced avocado, cucumber, tomatoes, corn, red onion, and parsley to a large mixing bowl.
4. Add the dressing: Pour the creamy dressing over the vegetables.
5. Toss gently: Using a large spoon or spatula, gently mix everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the avocado.
6. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for 15–30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to come together.
7. Serve: Give the salad a gentle stir, taste, and add a little more salt or lemon juice if needed. Serve immediately while fresh and chilled.
