View Recipe →Ingredients
- 2 English cucumbers, sliced
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 1/4 red onion, finely sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small jalapeño, minced (optional)
- Salt and black pepper
Instructions
Salt the cucumber
Slice the cucumbers, salt lightly, and let them sit 5 minutes. Blot off the excess water so the salad stays crisp, not soggy.
Make the dressing
Whisk the lime juice, olive oil, jalapeño if using, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Combine gently
Add the cucumber, avocado, red onion, and cilantro to a bowl. Pour over the dressing and fold gently to keep the avocado intact.
Serve fresh
Taste for salt and lime, and serve right away while everything is cold and bright.
