Ingredients
  

  • 2 large ripe avocados cut into quarters then sliced
  • 3 medium cucumbers sliced into thin rounds
  • ¼ red onion finely sliced
  • 2 tablespoon fresh dill finely chopped, optional
  • 2 tablespoon fresh cilantro roughly chopped, optional
  • 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil for dressing
  • 3 tablespoon fresh lime juice or lemon juice, adjust to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt

Equipment

  • 1 Large mixing bowl For combining all salad ingredients
  • 1 Sharp knife To slice avocados and cucumbers
  • 1 Cutting board For safe prep work
  • 1 Small whisk To mix the lime dressing

Method
 

  1. Wash and dry cucumbers thoroughly. Cut into thin, even rounds for perfect texture contrast. Slice red onion as thinly as possible to avoid overpowering delicate flavors.
  2. Cut each avocado in half, remove pit, and slice into quarters. Cut each quarter into neat 1cm slices that hold together beautifully when tossed.
  3. In small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Taste and adjust lime juice to your preference.
  4. Add all prepared salad ingredients to large bowl. Drizzle dressing over everything, then use hands to toss very gently, preventing avocado from getting mushy.
