Ingredients
– 2 English cucumbers, sliced
– 1 large avocado, pitted, peeled, and sliced
– 1/3 cup green onion, chopped
– 2 tablespoons lime juice (from 1 medium lime)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon sea salt or 3/4 teaspoon table salt, or to taste
– 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1-Start by washing the cucumbers thoroughly and thinly slicing them using a sharp knife or mandoline for even pieces that add great crunch.
2-Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and dice the flesh into bite-sized cubes to ensure every bite is creamy and consistent.
3-Finely chop the green onion to introduce a fresh, sharp element that complements the other ingredients.
4-In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, avocado, and chopped green onion, then gently toss to mix without mashing the avocado.
5-Drizzle with the lime juice and olive oil to brighten the flavors and keep the avocado fresh.
6-Season with the salt and black pepper to taste, mixing carefully for the best results.
7-Serve immediately for peak freshness; this salad works well as-is or with additions for a fuller meal, and it’s ready in just about 10 minutes total.

🥑 To prevent avocado browning when preparing ahead, cover salad tightly with plastic wrap placed directly on the surface and add salt just before serving.
🥒 For crisp cucumbers, add salt just before serving without additional steps like sweating.
🌿 Use green onions or chives; cilantro can substitute if preferred. Choose avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure.
