This Easy Mexican Cucumber Salad is a refreshing, crisp side dish made with cucumbers, avocado, red onion, and a zesty honey-lime vinaigrette. Perfect for summer BBQs, taco nights, or healthy weekday meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon Tajin or chili-lime seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice cucumbers into thin rounds or half-moons. Optionally, sprinkle with salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat dry.
  2. Dice avocado and thinly slice the red onion.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, honey, Tajin, salt, and pepper to make the vinaigrette.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine cucumbers, avocado, red onion, and chopped cilantro.
  5. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.
  6. Chill for 15–30 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra cilantro or Tajin if desired.

Notes

  • Assemble all ingredients except avocado and dressing ahead of time for best freshness.
  • Add jalapeños or extra Tajin for more heat.
  • Optional add-ins: tomatoes, mango, feta, or corn.
  • Best consumed within 24 hours due to avocado browning.
