The crispy, peppery radishes are balanced by the creamy, nutty avocado, while the tart lime juice and fragrant cilantro tie everything together. This salad is perfect for a hot summer day or as a light side dish to a spicy main course. The colors and flavors are bright and vibrant, making it a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds.

4.	Add the avocado to the bowl and toss gently.
5.	Add the cilantro and sliced red onion to the bowl and toss gently again.
