This Easy Arugula Avocado Salad is fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavor! Made with peppery arugula, creamy avocado, crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, and a simple homemade lemon dressing, this healthy vegan salad comes together in just 10 minutes. It's the perfect side dish for weeknight dinners, cookouts, holidays, or a light lunch.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and emulsified.
Prepare the salad:
Add the arugula, cucumber, radishes, avocado, and fresh herbs to a large serving bowl.
Dress and toss:
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is evenly coated, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Serve:
Enjoy immediately while the vegetables are crisp and the avocado is perfectly creamy. Garnish with extra herbs or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if desired.
