- Prepare the ingredients: Wash vegetables thoroughly. Slice cucumbers into half-moons or quarters, halve cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice red onion.
- Chop the avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh into bite-sized pieces, and toss immediately with lime juice to prevent browning.
