Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large avocados
- 1 large cucumber
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables: peel and pit the avocados, then cut them into bite-sized cubes. Place in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the cucumber if desired, then cut it in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Chop the cucumber into similar-sized cubes as the avocado and add to the bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and fresh cilantro leaves. Add them to the bowl with the avocado and cucumber.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
