Avocado Veggie Salad with Creamy Dressing

Ingredients:
Salad:

2 avocados, diced
1 cup cucumber, chopped
1/2 cup corn (canned or boiled)
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped chives or green onions
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
Creamy Dressing:

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional for extra creaminess)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice or lime juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs (optional, such as dill or parsley)
Instructions:
Prepare the Salad:

In a large bowl, add the diced avocado, chopped cucumber, corn, red bell pepper, red onion, chives, and tomatoes. Mix them gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
Make the Dressing:

In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise (if using), olive oil, lemon or lime juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth. You can add fresh herbs like dill or parsley for extra flavor.
Assemble:

Drizzle the creamy dressing over the salad. Toss gently until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Serve:

Serve immediately or refrigerate for a bit to let the flavors meld. This salad pairs well with grilled meat, fish, or as a healthy standalone meal.
