Avocado Salad with Olive Oil Dressing

This salad leans on ripe avocado for most of its richness, so the dressing can stay as simple as olive oil and a squeeze of lemon without the dish feeling bare.

Avocado's fat profile is one reason it's a regular feature in arthritis-friendly meal ideas, and extra virgin olive oil brings a similar kind of fat to the dressing rather than competing with it. Cherry tomatoes and cucumber add crunch and moisture, while red onion gives the whole bowl a little bite.

Toss everything gently so the avocado stays in cubes rather than turning creamy, and serve right away.
