Description
A delightful and refreshing salad featuring fresh cucumbers and creamy avocado, perfect for a light meal or side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 English cucumbers thinly sliced
- 1 large ripe avocado peeled, pitted, and sliced
- ⅓ cup chopped green onions about half a bunch
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice from 1 medium lime
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt adjust to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, peel, and slice. Chop the green onions finely.
- Combine Ingredients in a Bowl: Place the cucumber slices, avocado pieces, and chopped green onions into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Gently toss to combine.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl or directly over the salad, add lime juice and olive oil. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
- Toss and Serve Immediately: Gently toss all ingredients to coat with the dressing and serve right away.
Notes
- For best results, use a perfectly ripe avocado that yields slightly to pressure.
- English cucumbers are preferred for their thin skin; regular cucumbers can be used if peeled.
- This salad is best enjoyed fresh; if making ahead, toss with lime juice and cover tightly.
- Customize salt and pepper to taste; consider adding chili flakes for a kick.
- This salad pairs well with grilled fish, chicken, or can be enjoyed on its own.
